Fried Green Tomatoes


These are the same Fried Green Tomatoes from the Fried Green Tomato Burgers, but I wanted to post seperately so that they could be found under appetizers too. This only makes 4 slices, so you may want to double it. They are delicious on their own, or stacked with the Jalapeno Pimiento Cheese!

What you need:
1 large green tomato, cut into 1/2 inch slices
Vegetable Oil for Frying
2 teaspoons Paula Deen House Seasoning***
.5 cup self rising cornmeal mix
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 large egg

******Paula Deen House Seasoning is just one part black pepper, one part garlic powder, and 4 parts kosher salt. You can use this on everything. If you want, combine 1 cup salt, 1/4 cup garlic powder, and 1/4 cup pepper and store for 6 months and use on more recipes.


What You Need to Do:
Get a medium nonstick skillet and pour oil to a depth of 1/4 inch and heat over medium heat. In a small bowl, combine cornmeal mix, flour, and 2 teaspoons house seasoning mix. In another small bowl, lightly beat egg. Dip both sides of tomato slice in beaten egg, and coat with cornmeal mixture. Add tomatoes to hot oil; cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown.
