Allow me to learn you sumthin'
This little Southern treat has been a favorite in my family since forever. My parents were both originally from Ohio but moved here more than 25 years ago. I am the first native Texan born into my family, which I am most proud of.....mostly because of the Southern cuisine I feel entitled to! My mother is a big fan of fried foods. We love our fried pickles just as much as our fried tomatoes. I just so happen to be pet sitting for a lovely family that has an equally lovely garden that I am allowed to pick from and they have a bunch of green tomatoes! Oh my! They won't care if just a few are missing....
Fried Green Tomatoes
Ingredients
3 medium, firm green tomatoes
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup milk
2 beaten eggs
2/3 cup fine dry bread crumbs or cornmeal
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Method
1 Cut unpeeled tomatoes into 1/2 inch slices. Sprinkle slices with salt and pepper. Let tomato slices stand for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, place flour, milk, eggs, and bread crumbs in separate shallow dishes.
2 Heat 2 Tbsp of olive oil in a skillet on medium heat. Dip tomato slices in milk, then flour, then eggs, then bread crumbs. In the skillet, fry half of the coated tomato slices at a time, for 4-6 minutes on each side or until brown. As you cook the rest of the tomatoes, add olive oil as needed. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
In a word....these are delicious!!
