Buffalo Green Tomatoes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomatoes

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

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, combine the cornmeal, black pepper, and additional salt.

  3. 3

    Bread the Tomatoes

    Pat the tomatoes dry and dredge each slice in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the cornmeal mixture.

  4. 4

    Fry the Tomatoes

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the breaded tomato slices in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Make the Blue Cheese-Lime Yogurt

    In a bowl, mix the blue cheese, plain yogurt, lime juice, and hot sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Arrange the fried green tomatoes on a platter and serve warm with the blue cheese-lime yogurt on the side for dipping.
