Fried Green Tomatoes Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Tomatoes

   Slice the green tomatoes into 1/2-inch thick slices. Sprinkle with salt and let them sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Pat dry with a paper towel.

2. 2

   Set Up Breading Station

   In one bowl, place the flour. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. In a third bowl, combine the cornmeal, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

3. 3

   Bread the Tomatoes

   Dip each tomato slice first in the flour, then in the egg mixture, and finally in the cornmeal mixture, ensuring an even coating.

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, frying until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

5. 5

   Assemble the Dish

   Top each fried green tomato with a generous amount of crab meat and a drizzle of remoulade sauce before serving.
