Fried green tomatoes..............are the best! My first time making them leaves me wondering why I never tried before. They're so easy and great anytime of year! They are a great appetizer or side dish!
Ingredients :
-Green Tomatoes - Firm
-Olive Oil
-Panko, Bread Crumbs or Cornmeal (I used Panko and Seasoned Bread Crumbs)
-Flour (I didn't use, but you can)
-Salt
-Pepper
-Garlic Powder
(Be creative and add any seasonings!)
Method :
-Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl
-Slice tomatoes to your liking
-Dip tomato slices into olive oil
-Coat slices with dry ingredients on both sides
-Place a skilled on stovetop, medium heat, add a little olive oil and cook slices for 4 min. per side
You can serve plain or with a remoulade or vinaigrette. I just used a little creamy Caesar. Enjoy!
I grew up in Tennessee so I have to add my two cents to your fried green tomatoes - don't dip in olive oil to coat, soak in milk or buttermilk. Then mix 3 parts flour to 1 part cornmeal and add as much seasoning as you can stand (black pepper, salt, garlic powder, paparika, cayenne). Coat soaked tomatoes in flour mixture and fry in vegetable oil. Serve with Remoulade or a mayo, lemon juice, cayenne dressing. YUM!
