Fried Green Tomatoes Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the tomatoes

   Wash and slice the green tomatoes into 1/4 inch thick slices. Sprinkle them with salt and let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out some moisture.

2. 2

   Set up the breading station

   In one bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a third bowl, combine the cornmeal, salt, and black pepper.

3. 3

   Bread the tomatoes

   Dredge each tomato slice in the flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with the cornmeal mixture.

4. 4

   Fry the tomatoes

   In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded tomato slices in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side.

5. 5

   Drain and serve

   Remove the fried tomatoes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with sweet and sour sauce.
