Ingredients

Fried Green Tomatoes

Preparation

Preparation and Cooking

1. Prepare the Tomatoes

Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Pat them dry with a paper towel and set aside.

2. Set Up Breading Station

In three separate bowls, place the all-purpose flour mixed with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika in one; the buttermilk in another; and the cornmeal in the last.

3. Bread the Tomatoes

Dip each tomato slice first into the flour mixture, then into the buttermilk, and finally coat with cornmeal. Place the breaded tomatoes on a plate.

4. Fry the Tomatoes

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded tomatoes in batches, frying until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

5. Prepare the Plate

On a serving platter, arrange the fried green tomatoes. Top each with a spoonful of BBQ tomato jam and a dollop of smoked gouda pimento cheese.

6. Finish with Garnish

Drizzle with bourbon sorghum and top with crispy kale before serving.
