1/2 cup cornmeal
1 cup of bread crumbs . . . I decided to use a mixture of cornmeal and bread crumbs. I am not a huge fan of cornmeal on its own, but like the crunch it gives.
I also added 1tsp onion powder and 1tsp ground cayenne pepper
Sliced green tomatoes.
Cover green tomatoes with crumb mixture.
Fried in about 1/4" Vegetable oil. I used veggie oil because it was the most common oil I saw in the recipes. About medium heat.
They fry up quickly, only a few minutes on each side.
I put napkins and then a paper plate over a regular plate to let them drain some. Very yummy! The seasonings were not enough to really make a difference, but still good. Will definitely make again some time . . . maybe with more seasonings though.
The boy didn't care for them, but he's not a big fan of tomatoes in general.
They look so good, I found some green tomatoes at the Farmer's Market, haven't made them yet, maybe tonight, Good Job !!!
ReplyDeleteLooks good. I made some fried green tomatoes last week. I just used Italian bread crumbs and fried them in olive oil. Well first I dipped them in an egg/milk wash to help the bread crumbs stick. They were good. Now I want some more. Good idea on the seasonings, would add a little kick, I will have to try that if I ever see green ones again. Keep your eye out Mom.
ReplyDeleteYummy. I'm looking at my tomato plants with new eyes now!

fried green tomatos . . There is such beauty in the world :) I had gotten a gigantic zucchini from the farmers market the last time we went and on a spur of the moment fried them up very similar to green tomatos and was pleasantly surprised I'll have to try it again with your added seasoning.
