Fried Green Tomatoes

Method

Fried Green Tomatoes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    Slice the green tomatoes into 1/2 inch thick slices. Sprinkle them with salt and let them sit for about 15 minutes to draw out excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Dredge the Tomatoes

    In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. In another bowl, pour the buttermilk. In a third bowl, place the cornmeal. Dip each tomato slice first into the flour mixture, then into the buttermilk, and finally into the cornmeal, ensuring they are well coated.

  3. 3

    Fry the Tomatoes

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated tomato slices in batches, frying until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Remoulade Sauce

  1. 4

    Make the Sauce

    In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, chopped capers, minced garlic, paprika, chopped parsley, and lemon juice. Mix well until smooth and adjust seasoning to taste.
