Boo decided today that she wanted fried green tomatoes for lunch. These are the perfect food for someone who likes greasy vegetables (I know it is really a fruit) and is too impatient to let them get ripe on the vine. She is excited that she helped grow these and before I knew it, she was helping cook.
She also posted on Facebook that she was making them and some kids didn’t know what they are. Shameful! Right as we started to make them my wonderful mother-in-law came in and we discussed variations on the recipe. To begin, you need a few green tomatos, washed and sliced. My husband says. “Not too thick,” after each slice, so that was our mantra. Not too thick.
I like to dip mine in egg and milk mixed together. Some people don’t.
Then, dredge them in either flour, cornmeal, or a mixture of both. Add salt. If you live in my house, add salt before, during, and after cooking. Then drop them in hot oil until lightly brown.
Perfect!
