Fried Green Tomatoes

Method

Fried Green Tomatoes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Place them on a paper towel and sprinkle both sides with salt. Let them sit for about 15 minutes to draw out moisture.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one bowl, place the flour mixed with black pepper. In a second bowl, whisk the eggs and buttermilk together. In a third bowl, combine the cornmeal and salt.

  3. 3

    Bread the Tomatoes

    Dredge each tomato slice in flour, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it with cornmeal, pressing lightly to adhere.

  4. 4

    Fry the Tomatoes

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F or 175°C). Fry the breaded tomato slices in batches, about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

B.L.T. Assembly

  1. 5

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the applewood smoked bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On a slice of toasted bread, spread a generous layer of horseradish Comeback Sauce. Layer with lettuce, crispy bacon, fried green tomatoes, and another slice of toasted bread on top.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately with extra Comeback Sauce on the side for dipping, if desired.
