Fried Green Tomatoes Ingredients

Method

Fried Green Tomatoes Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    Wash the green tomatoes and slice them into 1/4 inch thick slices.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with buttermilk, and one with a mixture of cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

  3. 3

    Bread the Tomatoes

    Dip each tomato slice first into the flour, then into the buttermilk, and finally coat it in the cornmeal mixture. Make sure to cover both sides well.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

  5. 5

    Fry the Tomatoes

    Carefully place the breaded tomato slices into the hot oil, frying them in batches. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Once fried, remove the tomatoes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
