Nothing Says Springtime Like Fantastic Fried Green Tomatoes

Best diet for lifeI can picture it now. The spring bulbs have popped out their flowering heads, the grill is hot & ready for some bourbon salmon & the neighbors are jealous of the wondrous scents carrying themselves from our house to their inquisitive noses. Nothing says springtime like these fantastic fried green tomatoes. Enjoy this delightful recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 4 large green tomatoes
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon basil
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Go ahead and slice your tomatoes to about 1/2 inches in thickness. Discard the ends.

In a medium bowl- whisk eggs and milk together.

Place flour onto a plate, set aside.

Mix cornmeal, bread crumbs & seasonings onto another plat, set aside.

Dip tomatoes into flour to coat. Then dip the tomatoes into milk and egg mixture. Dredge in breadcrumb mixture to completely coat.

In a large skillet- pour veggie oil, enough so that you cover about 1/2 inch of pan. Heat over a medium heat. Place tomatoes into the frying pan. Be sure to not crowd the tomatoes, try not to have them touching.

When the tomatoes are browned, flip and fry them on the other side. Pat dry with paper towels.

Eat well & Laugh often.
