Fried Green Tomatoes

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomatoes

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

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour mixed with salt and pepper, one with buttermilk and beaten eggs, and one with cornmeal.

  3. 3

    Bread the Tomatoes

    Dredge each tomato slice in the flour mixture, dip in the buttermilk mixture, then coat with cornmeal, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Fry the Tomatoes

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the breaded tomato slices in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried tomatoes from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm, topped with crumbled goat cheese and drizzled with red pepper coulis.
