Fried Green Tomatoes
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Tomatoes
Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4 inch thick slices. Sprinkle with salt and let them sit for about 15 minutes to draw out moisture.
Set Up Breading Station
In one bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, pour the buttermilk. In a third bowl, mix cornmeal with black pepper and cayenne pepper.
Bread the Tomatoes
Dredge each tomato slice in flour, then dip in buttermilk, and finally coat with the cornmeal mixture.
Fry the Tomatoes
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded tomato slices in batches and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Make the Dip
In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, and chopped chives. Mix well until smooth.
Serve
Serve the fried green tomatoes hot with the dip on the side.
