Fried Green Tomatoes

Method

Fried Green Tomatoes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    Wash the green tomatoes and slice them into 1/2 inch thick slices. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading

    In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour in the first dish, the buttermilk in the second dish, and the cornmeal mixed with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in the third dish.

  3. 3

    Bread the Tomatoes

    Take each slice of tomato, first dip it into the flour, then into the buttermilk, and finally coat it with the cornmeal mixture. Ensure each slice is fully coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

  5. 5

    Fry the Tomatoes

    Carefully place the breaded tomato slices into the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

    Mix the Sauce Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped capers, parsley, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Stir until well combined.
