Fried Green Tomatoes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Season with salt and let them sit for about 10 minutes to draw out some moisture.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk. In a third bowl, add the cornmeal, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Bread the Tomatoes

    Dredge each tomato slice in flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat in the cornmeal mixture. Make sure they are well 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. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Salad

    On a serving platter, layer the fried green tomatoes, top with arugula, sprinkle with feta cheese, and add pickled peppers. Drizzle with green goddess dressing before serving.
