Fried Green Tomatoes
Method
Fried Green Tomatoes Preparation
Prepare the Tomatoes
Wash and slice the green tomatoes into 1/2-inch thick slices. Sprinkle with salt and let them sit for about 10 minutes to draw out moisture.
Set Up Breading Station
In one bowl, place the flour mixed with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. In a second bowl, add the buttermilk. In a third bowl, add the cornmeal.
Bread the Tomatoes
Dredge each tomato slice first in the flour mixture, then dip into the buttermilk, and finally coat with cornmeal. Ensure each slice is evenly coated.
Fry the Tomatoes
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded tomato slices in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
