Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large green tomatoes
- 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices. Set aside.
In a shallow dish, mix the flour, 1 teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow dish, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and remaining 1 teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning.
In a third shallow dish, place the cornmeal.
Dredge each tomato slice in the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Then dip it in the buttermilk mixture, and finally coat it in the cornmeal.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Working in batches, fry the tomato slices for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the skillet.
Remove the fried tomatoes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as remoulade or ranch.
