Fried Green Tomatoes Ingredients

Method

Fried Green Tomatoes Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomatoes

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

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

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

  3. 3

    Bread the Tomatoes

    Dip each tomato slice first into the flour mixture, shaking off the excess. Then dip it into the buttermilk, and finally coat it with the cornmeal.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  5. 5

    Fry the Tomatoes

    Carefully place the breaded tomato slices in the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried tomatoes from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
