Fried Green Tomatoes

Method

Fried Green Tomatoes Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4 inch thick slices. Sprinkle both sides with salt and let them sit for about 10 minutes to draw out moisture.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one bowl, place the flour mixed with black pepper and cayenne pepper. In a second bowl, pour the buttermilk. In a third bowl, add the cornmeal.

  3. 3

    Bread the Tomatoes

    Dredge each tomato slice in the flour mixture, then dip it in the buttermilk, and finally coat it with cornmeal. Set aside on a plate.

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