Fried Green Tomatoes

Method

Fried Green Tomatoes Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4 inch thick slices. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture.

  2. 2

    Dredge the Tomatoes

    Set up a dredging station with three bowls: one with flour, one with buttermilk, and one with cornmeal mixed with pepper. Dip each tomato slice first in flour, then in buttermilk, and finally coat with cornmeal.

  3. 3

    Fry the Tomatoes

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the coated tomato slices for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Shrimp Remoulade Preparation
