Fried Green Tomatoes

Method

Fried Green Tomatoes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    Wash and slice the green tomatoes into 1/2-inch thick slices. Place them on a paper towel to absorb excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Set Up the Breading Station

    In three separate shallow bowls, set up your breading station. In the first bowl, place the all-purpose flour mixed with 1 tsp of salt and 1 tsp of black pepper. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In the third bowl, combine the cornmeal with a pinch of salt.

  3. 3

    Bread the Tomatoes

    Take each slice of tomato, dredge it in the flour mixture, then dip it in the egg mixture, and finally coat it in the cornmeal. Ensure each slice is evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Tomatoes

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded tomato slices in batches, without overcrowding the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Once all tomatoes are fried, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and chopped green onions on top of the warm tomatoes.

Remoulade Sauce

  1. 6

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve the fried green tomatoes warm, drizzled with the remoulade sauce on top.
