Fried Green Tomatoes
Fried green tomatoes are one of my most favorite dishes during the summer months.
Ingredients
- 4 green tomatoes sliced thick
- 1/2 c peanut oil or canola oil
- 1/2 c all purpose flour
- 1/2 c FINE ground yellow cornmeal
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 c buttermilk can sub reg milk
- kosher salt
- pepper
Instructions
- Place your sliced tomatoes on a plate or cutting board and sprinkle them with kosher salt and black pepper.
- Put the oil into a 10 inch skillet, I prefer using cast iron. Heat the oil over medium heat for about five minutes or so, until it is glistening and shimmering.
- In a large bowl mix the flour and cornmeal together. In another large bowl, mix the buttermilk and eggs whisking them together.
- Dip the tomato slices into the egg mixture, then into the flour mixture. Making sure to coat each side very well. Drop the tomato into the hot oil and ry for about 2 minutes per side, until very nicely browned. I cook about 6 tomato slices at a time.
- Remove the tomatoes to a paper towel lined plate and sprinkle immediately with salt.
- Repeat these steps with the remaining tomato slices.
