Fried Green Tomatoes Recipe
serves four, as a side dish
Ingredients:
4 green tomatoes
3 eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 cups flour
1 cup course yellow corn meal
1 tbsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tbsp salt
1 tsp ground red pepper
frying oil
Picking the Green tomatoes:
Make sure that the green tomatoes that you pick are mature (full-sized) but not yet ripened at all. They should be light green to whitish in color. They need to be hard and completely green, with not even a hint of pink or red, but they should be far enough along that they have reached full size and the seeds inside are fully formed.
1. Wash the green tomatoes, remove stems, and cut them into rounds of about 1/4 to 1/2 of an inch thickness. The thinner they are, the crispier they will be, but thicker slices maintain more of that tart green tomato taste.
2. Beat the eggs in a small bowl, with milk.
3. In a shallow bowl or plate, mix the flour and cornmeal. Then add the ground black pepper, garlic powder, salt, and ground red pepper. Mix well.
4. Dip each green tomato slice in the egg-milk mixture until fully submerged, then pull them out and coat them with the flour mixture and set aside on a plate.
5. Fill the bottom of a heavy skillet with about 3/4 inch of frying oil and heat it over medium-high heat (medium on a gas stove) until a little flour dropped in sizzles and bubbles.
6. Carefully place the breaded green tomato slices into the oil. Fry the slices, rotate and flip them, until both sides are golden brown. When done, remove each slice and place it on paper towels to soak up the excess oil.
7. Serve with salsa if desired.
first fry some bacon so you will have some bacon grease to fry the tomatoes in.
wash and slice the tomatoes. set up breading station with a pan of flour and a pan of beaten eggs.
dip in flour, then egg, then flour again. salt and pepper each side then fry in bacon grease.
yummy!!!
Wash the tomatoes, slice them thinly, then salt and pepper to taste.
Sautey them in butter, until they are soft.
Enjoy!!!

Here's my family recipe for Southern Fried Green Tomatoes. They are different. Some folks love them. Some not so much. Be sure to let us all know what you think of them.
I happen to adore fried green tomatoes. Living here in the South, I've come across many recipes, but this one is my favorite:
If your tomatoes are REALLY green (no pink on the outside or inside), then peel them, slice them about 1/4 inch thick and soak them in milk for a few hours (about 3 or so) to remove most of the bitter tang they have. If you want tangy fried tomatoes, you can skip this step. (I skip it, myself)
3 large green tomatoes (or about 4 medium), peeled and sliced about 1/4 inch thick
2 eggs, beaten very well
2 C cornmeal
salt and pepper to taste
1 stick of butter
Stir together cornmeal with salt and pepper (I use about 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp ground black pepper) in a shallow bowl. Beat the two eggs very well until they are lemon yellow in another shallow bowl.
Melt butter over medium-to-medium-high heat in a heavy skillet and begin coating your tomatoes in egg first, then coat them with the cornmeal. Place the tomatoes in the skillet, one layer deep. Fry one side til golden (mine take about 3-4 minutes per side) then flip over like a pancake. Fry until golden and place on a plate lined with paper towels to let them drain. Then coat more slices as before and cook them. If you want, you can put the fried tomatoes in a 170 F oven to keep them warm while you cook the others.
This recipe usually ends up using more butter than stated here. The cornmeal absorbs it pretty well. I usually make sure I have an extra stick of butter on standby if this occurs.
The following is a recipe from Paula Deen's Food Network site. She has some great recipes from the South, and any time you have another question about cooking some Southern delicacies, this is a good place to go. Her fried green tomatoes with hollandaise sauce is a fancier way to serve them.

This is Paula Deen's basic recipe for Fried Green Tomatoes:
3 or 4 large firm green tomatoes
Salt
2 cups vegetable or peanut oil, for deep-frying
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups self-rising flour
Slice the tomatoes 1/4-inch thick. Lay them out in a shallow baking pan and sprinkle with salt. Place the tomato slices in a colander and allow time for the salt to pull the water out of the tomatoes, approximately 30 minutes. In a skillet, heat the oil for deep-frying over medium high heat. Dip the tomatoes into buttermilk, then dredge them in flour. Deep-fry until golden brown. Keep warm.
As you can see, she uses buttermilk and all-purpose flour for hers and she deep fries them instead. Either way, they turn out great. So, if you prefer a "corny" crunchy texture, the first recipe is for you. Sometimes the ones dredged in flour aren't as crisp, but they can be very tasty if you don't want to use cornmeal.
Enjoy!
I make mine the same way as I make pork or chicken schnitzel.
Have bowls ready with beaten egg and a bit of water, seasoned flour, and seasoned fine breadcrumbs. Heat oil in pan, then dip the tomato slice in flour, then eggwash, then breadcrumbs. Fry til golden on each side, drain on paper towels.
For seasonings, I use garlic powder, salt and pepper, paprika and dill. When they're fried, I sprinkle on a bit more salt.
Yummers!
btw, I make eggplant the exact same way, and it's delish!
