Fried Green Tomatoes

Method

Fried Green Tomatoes

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    In a bowl, mix together the cornmeal, flour, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

  3. 3

    Pour buttermilk into a separate bowl. Dip each tomato slice into the buttermilk, then dredge in the cornmeal mixture until well coated.

  4. 4

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the tomato slices in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Remove from skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
