Fried Green Tomatoes


Hello fellow foodies. Are you doing good? I'm great because today I'm sharing my recipes for one of my favorite healthy recipes. Okay, so FRIED green tomatoes aren't that good for you, but they are good to me. 

I just love a fried green tomato. It's something about that crispy crust and then that nice little tang that you get from the green tomato. I also love a nice, thick crust on my green tomatoes, and my recipe does exactly that. I'm not going jabber to much on this post because I just know you are so eager to this recipe, so please enjoy.

RECIPE:
- 2-4 Green Tomatoes
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg
- salt
- pepper
- vegetable oil for frying

Pour enough oil into a skillet so that it comes up about half way of the skillet and bring to a medium heat. Slice the tomatoes about 1/4 inch. Season the tomatoes really good with salt and pepper on both sides. In a bowl, beat together the egg and the milk and set aside. In another bowl, mix the cornmeal and garlic powder together. Did the tomatoes into the flour, coat, and then into the egg mixture. Once the tomato is covered in the egg mixture, place it into the cornmeal and coat. Place the tomatoes into the preheated oil and fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown on each side (make sure not to overcrowd the pan). Once the tomatoes are done, remove them from the oil and place on a paper towel lined plate.
