Fried Green Tomatoes

Method

Fried Green Tomatoes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    Slice the green tomatoes into 1/2-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

    Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs mixed with black pepper and cayenne pepper.

  3. 3

    Bread the Tomatoes

    Dredge each tomato slice in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in the egg, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  5. 5

    Fry the Tomatoes

    Carefully place breaded tomato slices in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Cajun Remoulade

  1. 6

    Mix Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Cajun seasoning, hot sauce, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Mix well until smooth.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve the fried green tomatoes hot with the Cajun remoulade on the side.
