Ingredients

Fried Green Tomatoes

White Cheddar & Caramelized Onion Grits

Tomato Chutney

Country Ham

Preparation

Preparation of Fried Green Tomatoes

1. Prepare the Tomatoes

Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4 inch thick slices. Season with salt and pepper.

2. Breading Station

Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with buttermilk mixed with egg, and one with cornmeal.

3. Bread the Tomatoes

Dip each tomato slice into the flour, then into the buttermilk mixture, and finally coat with cornmeal.

4. Fry the Tomatoes

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded tomato slices until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Preparation of Grits

5. Caramelize the Onions

Slice the onion and sauté in butter over medium heat until caramelized, about 15 minutes.

6. Cook the Grits

In a pot, bring water to a boil. Gradually stir in the grits and cook according to package instructions until thickened.

7. Combine

Stir in the caramelized onions and white cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.

Preparation of Tomato Chutney

8. Cook the Chutney

In a saucepan, combine chopped tomatoes, diced onion, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, salt, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat until thickened, about 20 minutes.

Preparation of Tomato Butter

9. Make Tomato Butter

In a bowl, mix softened butter with tomato paste, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Final Assembly

10. Cook Country Ham

In a skillet, cook slices of country ham until heated through and slightly crispy.

11. Plate the Dish

Serve the fried green tomatoes over a bed of white cheddar grits, topped with country ham, tomato chutney, and a dollop of tomato butter.
