Cheryl’s Fried Green Tomatoes Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Prepare the Tomatoes

   Wash the green tomatoes and slice them into 1/4-inch thick slices.

2. 2

   Make the Breading Station

   In one bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk. In a third bowl, place the cornmeal.

3. 3

   Bread the Tomatoes

   Dip each tomato slice first into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally into the cornmeal, ensuring each slice is well coated.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F or 175°C).

5. 5

   Fry the Tomatoes

   Carefully add the breaded tomato slices to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the fried green tomatoes hot with remoulade sauce on the side.
