Fried Green Tomatoes

7/16/2014

     No, I am not referring to the movie, but the southern delicacy that everyone was talking about afterwards.  I honestly had not tried fried green tomatoes until about 6 years ago, just really wasn't quite sure what to do.  But, now I am hooked and every tomato season we have this delicious dish a few times before the tomatoes start to ripen to that ruby red.  
    It really doesn't matter what tomato breed you use but I would suggest using a very large and firm breed (ie no Romas or Cherry tomatoes here).

   For this recipe you need:
     Green Tomatoes
     Olive oil
     Flour (add a dash of salt & pepper)
     Corn meal (optional- I was currently out)
     Milk (just a splash)
     Eggs

Simply start by slicing the firm green tomato.  Ideally, the tomato should be firm, but not rock hard.

Next put your flour in a bowl (I don't measure but I guess it is  1-2 cups.  If you are also using cornmeal (makes them crunchier) I would use 1 1/2 cups flour and 1/2 cup cornmeal.  Add your dash of salt & pepper.

Next crack your eggs into one bowl and mix up your flour/salt/pepper (and possibly corn meal) in the second bowl.

While you are preparing the tomatoes for the skillet go ahead and heat your olive oil on medium high.  You want a drop of water to sizzle when you flick it in the hot oil.

You then just dip both sides of the sliced green tomato into the egg wash and then cover both sides with the flour mixture.

   Set the tomatoes in and fry 1-3 minutes per side.  Pull them out and... Viola!  It's crispy, tangy, and definately southern.

Enjoy!
