1
Prepare the Tomatoes
Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4 inch thick slices. Sprinkle with salt and let them sit for about 10 minutes to draw out moisture.
2
Set Up Breading Station
In one bowl, place the flour mixed with black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk. In a third bowl, place the cornmeal mixed with salt.
3
Bread the Tomatoes
Dredge each tomato slice in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the egg mixture, then coat with cornmeal, pressing gently to adhere.
4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F or 175°C).
5
Fry the Tomatoes
Fry the breaded tomato slices in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
6
Drain and Serve
Remove the fried green tomatoes from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with spicy remoulade.
