Fried Green Tomatoes

Dressed Local Greens

Method

Fried Green Tomatoes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    Slice the green tomatoes into 1/2 inch thick rounds. Sprinkle with salt and let them sit for about 15 minutes to draw out excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. In a second bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg. In a third bowl, place the cornmeal.

  3. 3

    Bread the Tomatoes

    Dredge each tomato slice first in the flour mixture, then dip it into the buttermilk mixture, and finally coat it with cornmeal. Ensure an even coating for the best crunch.

  4. 4

    Fry the Tomatoes

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated tomato slices. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Remoulade Sauce

  1. 5

    Mix the Sauce

    In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, chopped capers, chopped parsley, and lemon juice. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Dressed Local Greens

  1. 6

    Prepare the Greens

    In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

  2. 7

    Toss the Greens

    Gently toss the greens to ensure they are evenly coated with the dressing.
