Fried Green Tomatoes

After watching one of my all time FAVE movies Fried Green Tomatoes I decided to post a recipe for them they are oh so yummy!



Fried Green Tomatoes
1 cup flour (*I used half the flour and buttermilk and had plenty for 3)
2 cups buttermilk
Kosher salt
Fresh ground black pepper
Pinch of paprika
Pinch of cayenne pepper
3-4 medium green tomatoes
2 cups panko bread crumbs, or plain bread crumbs
6 cups of canola oil (*I used about 2 cups)

In a large, deep, heavy pan, heat the oil to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl; whisk the flour and the milk together. Mix in the salt, black pepper, paprika and cayenne pepper.

Slice the tomatoes into 1/3 inch slices. Dip into the batter coating thoroughly. Cover both sides with crumbs. Carefully add to the hot oil and fry until golden brown. Serve immediately with Ranch Salsa.

For Ranch Salsa, mix 1 Tablespoon of mild Picante sauce with ½ cup ranch dressing. Mix well and serve.


Note that I do own the Fried Green Tomatoes book and recipe this is not theirs but I do have it if your interested a long with many others. If your interested in one lemme know!
