Southern Eats: Fried Green Tomatoes
Who in America in their right mind doesn’t love fried green tomatoes?
Ingredients:
– 2-3 Green tomatoes
– Panko breadcrumbs
– Salt
– Pepper
– Smoked paprika
– 1 1/2 Cup olive oil
The Prep:::::
Slice your tomatoes. Using a mandolin would be a better option for slicing to ensure uniform thickness. Once sliced, season to taste (I like mine a little salty) then set aside.
Add olive oil to a 12″ fry pan (allows for cooking more tomatoes) on medium high.
The Jump Off:::::
Now that everything is set up, take some of your tomato slices and dip them in your eggs, next dip them in the panko being sure to coat both sides, then place your breaded tomatoes in your hot oil.
Cook on each side for about 2 minutes or until golden.
Remove the cooked tomatoes from the oil and set them on paper towel for cooling and excess oil removal.
Repeat….
If you notice that your panko is getting yet, add more to the bowl.
For fun, you can use just about anything for a condiment. I had every intention of making a basil/lime mayo but…. I saw that I had some blue cheese dressing and the rest is history.
Fabulous, from beginning to the end. Nom!
Drool, droool…
Some moscato to go with it.
I absolutely love fried green tomatoes.
