I just love the summer time!!! And the food that goes a long with it. Living in the south, we have a lot of great fresh foods to choose from. I went to the beach last week (no, I did not want to come home) and on the way back, we stopped in Mississippi at a small produce stand. I got a couple of green tomatoes because I have been craving fried green tomatoes. So I fried them up with this awesome (and easy) recipe from Southern Living. I usually go between Southern Living and Paula Deen. They both know good food!! So I used this recipe and bought some hoagie rolls, lettuce, and bacon. That's it. I would have liked to try a remoulade sauce on them but I did not have enough time to make my own so we used mustard and mayo. Every single person CLEANED their plate. There was not a bite left. So there ya go....
1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, divided
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 3 medium-size green tomatoes, cut into 1/3-inch slices
- Vegetable oil
- Salt to taste
- Combine egg and buttermilk; set aside.
- Combine 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, cornmeal, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl or pan.
- Dredge tomato slices in remaining 1/4 cup flour; dip in egg mixture, and dredge in cornmeal mixture.
- Pour oil to a depth of 1/4 to 1/2 inch in a large cast-iron skillet; heat to 375°. Drop tomatoes, in batches, into hot oil, and cook 2 minutes on each side or until golden. Drain on paper towels or a rack. Sprinkle hot tomatoes with salt.
Then make your BLT however you like it!! Enjoy!!
