Fried Green Tomatoes
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Fried Green Tomatoes
Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4 inch thick slices. Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour seasoned with salt and pepper, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
Bread the Tomatoes
Dredge each tomato slice in flour, dip in the egg, and then coat with panko breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate.
Fry the Tomatoes
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the breaded tomato slices until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
Make the Roasted Red Pepper Coulis
In a blender, combine roasted red peppers, garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and adjust seasoning to taste.
