Ingredients:<\/p>\n
3 to 4 medium green tomatoes, firm and unripe<\/p>\n
1 tsp salt<\/p>\n
1\/2 tsp black pepper<\/p>\n
1 cup all-purpose flour<\/p>\n
2 large eggs<\/p>\n
1\/2 cup buttermilk (or milk)<\/p>\n
1\/2 cup cornmeal<\/p>\n
1\/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for extra crunch)<\/p>\n
1\/2 tsp paprika (optional, for added flavor)<\/p>\n
Vegetable oil for frying (canola, peanut, or sunflower)<\/p>\n
Instructions: Prep Tomatoes:
\nSlice tomatoes into 1\/4-inch thick rounds. Sprinkle both sides lightly with salt and let sit for 10 minutes to draw<\/p>\n
out excess moisture. Pat dry with paper towels. Set Up Dredging Station: Bowl 1: Flour, with a pinch of salt and pepper.<\/p>\n
Bowl 2: Eggs whisked with buttermilk. Bowl 3: Cornmeal, breadcrumbs, and optional paprika for added crunch and flavor.<\/p>\n
Coat the Tomatoes:
\nDredge each tomato slice first in flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with the cornmeal\/breadcrumb mixture. Press lightly to help coating stick.<\/p>\n
Fry:
\nHeat about 1\/2 inch of oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat (about 350\u00b0F or 175\u00b0C). Fry tomato slices in batches for 2\u20133 minutes per side until golden brown.<\/p>\n
Drain and Serve:
\nRemove with tongs and place on paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with ranch, remoulade, or your favorite dipping sauce.<\/p>\n
