Fried Green Tomatoes

  1. 1

    Prepare the tomatoes

    Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4 inch thick slices. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.

    Dredge each tomato slice in flour, dip in buttermilk, then coat in cornmeal.

  4. 4

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded tomato slices until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
