Fried Green Tomatoes

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4-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

    In one bowl, combine the flour with black pepper and cayenne pepper. In a second bowl, pour the buttermilk. In a third bowl, place the cornmeal.

  3. 3

    Bread the Tomatoes

    Dredge each tomato slice in the flour mixture, then dip into the buttermilk, and finally coat with cornmeal. Make sure each slice is well coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Tomatoes

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the breaded tomato slices in the oil, frying them in batches. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried tomatoes and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve topped with jumbo lump crabmeat, drizzled with remoulade and hollandaise sauce.
