Fried Green Tomatoes Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Tomatoes

   Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4 inch thick slices. Sprinkle both sides with salt and let them sit for about 10 minutes to draw out moisture.

   Set Up Breading Station

   In one bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the buttermilk. In a third bowl, combine cornmeal, salt, and black pepper.

3. 3

   Bread the Tomatoes

   Dredge each tomato slice in flour, dip in the egg mixture, and then coat with the cornmeal mixture.

4. 4

   Fry the Tomatoes

   In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Carefully add the breaded tomato slices to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

   Remove the fried tomatoes and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with goddess dressing.
