Recipe for Fried Green Tomatoes
Ingredients
- 3 medium, firm green tomatoes
- Salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp Cajun seasoning (optional)
- 1/2 cup milk or buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup cornmeal
- 1/2 cup fine dry bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup peanut oil or other vegetable oil
Cooking Directions
Cut unpeeled tomatoes into 1/2 inch slices. Sprinkle slices with salt. Let tomato slices stand for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, place in separate shallow bowls: the flour and Cajun seasoning (if using), buttermilk and egg, and bread crumbs and cornmeal.
Heat the peanut oil in a skillet on medium heat. Beat the egg and the buttermilk together.
Dip tomato slices in the flour-seasoning mix, then buttermilk-egg mixture, then the cornmeal-bread crumb mix.
In the skillet, fry half of the coated tomato slices at a time, for 3-5 minutes on each side or until brown.
Set the cooked tomatoes on paper towels to drain. These are fantastic with a little Tabasco sauce or remoulade.
