Fried Green Tomatoes

Method

Fried Green Tomatoes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    Wash the green tomatoes thoroughly and slice them into 1/4 inch thick slices. Season with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

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

  3. 3

    Bread the Tomatoes

    Dip each tomato slice first in the flour, shaking off excess, then in the buttermilk mixture, and finally coat with cornmeal. Ensure each slice is evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

  5. 5

    Fry the Tomatoes

    Carefully add the breaded tomato slices to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  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 warm.

Remoulade Sauce

  1. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, capers, minced garlic, hot sauce, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 8

    Mix Well

    Stir the mixture until all ingredients are fully combined and smooth.

  3. 9

    Chill and Serve

    Cover the remoulade sauce and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve alongside the fried green tomatoes.
