Fried Green Tomatoes, Anyone??

Now, I'm no Southern Belle, but this Yankee Girl does enjoy some southern food every once and awhile. In fact, one of the tastiest treats of the summer are fried green tomatoes!!
If you like salty and sour together, you'll like these. On the outside is a scrumptious fried breading, enclosing a tangy, soft green tomato. 

Jess demonstrates the "before" and "just before."

So, here's the recipe:

• 4 large green tomatoes
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cornmeal
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs
• 2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 quart vegetable oil for frying

Directions

1. Slice tomatoes 1/2 inch thick. Discard the ends.
2. Whisk eggs and milk together in a medium-size bowl. Scoop flour onto a plate. Mix cornmeal, bread crumbs and salt and pepper on another plate. Dip tomatoes into flour to coat. Then dip the tomatoes into milk and egg mixture. Dredge in breadcrumbs to completely coat.
3. In a large skillet, pour vegetable oil (enough so that there is 1/2 inch of oil in the pan) and heat over a medium heat. Place tomatoes into the frying pan in batches of 4 or 5, depending on the size of your skillet. Do not crowd the tomatoes, they should not touch each other. When the tomatoes are browned, flip and fry them on the other side. Drain them on paper towels.

Mom and John-boy both approve!

You really ought to try these!

Bon Apetite!
