Fried Green Tomatoes

from Cajun Eggs with Fried Green Tomatoes & Squash Biscuits, the Week of October 6, 2013.
View the previous or next recipe for this meal.

Just before a frost can nab them, grab a stack of green tomatoes, slice and fry them up in a quick and easy buttermilk dip. The breading is your favorite flour tossed with cornmeal, which gives it a little crunch. If you want to skip the cornmeal, just substitute the flour instead. You may need more or less buttermilk and flour depending on your number of green tomatoes. Adjust the salt and spice to taste as needed. Make a vegan buttermilk by mixing a tablespoon of a neutral vinegar (apple cider or white wine) with a cup of your favorite non-dairy milk.

Ingredients

  • 2 tomatoes, green
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • ½ cup flour, gluten-free, all-purpose, whole wheat- your preference
  • ½ cup cornmeal, or more flour instead
  • 1 teaspoon salt, more to taste, if needed
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, optional

Serving Size: 2 People

Preparation Instructions

Place the buttermilk in a shallow dish. Toss the flour, cornmeal, salt and smoked paprika in another dish.

Cut the green tomatoes in 1/2 inch slices. Dip in the buttermilk and then in the flour mixture.

Warm the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add one drip of water to the oil. When it sizzles, add the breaded tomatoes.

Fry on each side until golden. Serve hot.
