Fried Green Tomatoes Ingredients
Method
Fried Green Tomatoes Directions
Prepare the Tomatoes
Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices and sprinkle with salt. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to draw out some moisture.
Set Up Breading Station
In one bowl, place the flour mixed with black pepper and cayenne pepper. In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk. In a third bowl, place the cornmeal.
Fry the Tomatoes
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded tomato slices in batches, frying until golden brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Drain and Serve
Remove the fried tomatoes from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve hot as an appetizer or side dish.
