Fried Green Tomatoes – listrecipes

Fried green tomatoes are a classic Southern dish featuring tart green tomatoes coated in a crispy, seasoned cornmeal batter and fried until golden brown. They make a delicious appetizer or side dish, perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

- 4-5 medium green tomatoes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1 cup buttermilk (or regular milk if preferred)
Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

1. Prep Tomatoes: Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

1. Set Up Breading Stations: In a shallow bowl, mix the flour with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. In a second bowl, combine the cornmeal, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Pour the buttermilk into a third bowl.
2. Dredge Tomatoes: Dip each tomato slice into the flour mixture, coating both sides, then into the buttermilk, and finally coat thoroughly with the cornmeal mixture. Press lightly to ensure the coating sticks.
3. Heat Oil: Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Fry Tomatoes: Carefully place the coated tomato slices into the hot oil. Fry in batches, avoiding overcrowding the skillet, for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
Drain and Serve: Remove the fried tomatoes with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish.

Enjoy your crispy, tangy fried green tomatoes!
