Along with green tomatoes I enjoy frying dill pickle slices (the kind that you buy in a jar to top hamburgers) or dill pickle spears! Oh yum! Hope you enjoy this easy recipe sometime soon (just not too often :)
Home-Fried Green Tomatoes
(my combination of a couple recipes)
(my combination of a couple recipes)
Ingredients
Recipe makes 4 servings
4 large green tomatoes, or 6 small ones (try it with dill pickle slices or spears. so good!)
2 egg whites
2 egg whites
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup unseasoned bread crumbs
2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 quart vegetable oil for frying
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup unseasoned bread crumbs
2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 quart vegetable oil for frying
Season to taste with:
Lawry's Season Salt
Garlic Powder
Any other seasoning that you enjoy!
Directions
Slice tomatoes 1/2 inch thick. Discard the ends.
Whisk egg whites and milk together in a medium-size bowl. Scoop flour onto a plate. Mix cornmeal, bread crumbs, salt, pepper and additional seasonings on a separate plate.
Dip tomatoes into flour to coat. Then dip the tomatoes into milk and egg mixture. Dredge in breadcrumbs/cornmeal mixture to completely coat. (I did this differently - I dipped in milk/egg mixture and then dredged in dry mixture. It was an oops but turned out okay)

In a large skillet, pour vegetable oil (enough so that there is 1/2 inch of oil in the pan) and heat over a medium heat.
Place tomatoes into the frying pan in batches of 4 or 5, depending on the size of your skillet. Do not crowd the tomatoes, they should not touch each other. When the tomatoes are browned, flip and fry them on the other side. Drain them on paper towels and enjoy! They taste great on their own or dipped in my favorite homemade ranch (open the link and scroll down to find the ranch recipe).
Hope you enjoy this southern favorite sometime. This is a tasty snack, paired with a tall glass of sweet tea. Or it even makes a tasty meal alongside chicken wings and fresh veggies. Mmm Mmm!
Even the wisest man who ever lived said that it is good to enjoy the food you work hard for.
Have a blessed week and a Happy Valentine's Day,

Even the wisest man who ever lived said that it is good to enjoy the food you work hard for.
"Here is what I have seen: It is good and fitting for one
to eat and drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labor in which he
toils under the sun all the days of his life which God gives him; for it
is his heritage."
Ecclesiastes 5:18
