Equipment
- Large skillet or frying pan
- Paper towels
- Tongs or slotted spoon
- Plate or baking sheet
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized firm green tomatoes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup buttermilk
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash the green tomatoes and slice them into rounds that are 1/4-inch thick.
- In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to create the coating mixture.
- Dip each tomato slice into the buttermilk, allowing the excess to drip off, and then coat it evenly with the flour-cornmeal mixture. Press the coating gently onto the tomato slice to ensure it sticks.
- Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Carefully place the coated tomato slices into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown.
- Once fried, remove the tomatoes using tongs or a slotted spoon, and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the fried green tomatoes immediately while they're still hot and crispy.
