Since I'm from Tennessee and since I love green tomatoes that's how the recipe got it's name. If you want to change the amounts of the seasonings, go right ahead. When turning over, use a pancake turner so coating won't come off. Submitted to ZAAR on August 5th, 2007. Ingredients:
1 large green tomato, sliced into 6 slices |
1/2-3/4 cup buttermilk (if no buttermilk, just use same amount of regular milk with 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice let set fo) |
1 egg |
1/3 cup yellow cornmeal |
1/2 cup self-rising flour |
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper |
1/2 teaspoon paprika |
Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, add tomato slices and coat with buttermilk; chill for 20 minutes.
2. While tomatoes are soaking, mix together coating ingredients in another medium size bowl.
3. Remove tomatoes from buttermilk-do not throw away buttermilk.
4. Coat each tomato slice in coating mixture; set aside.
5. Now in remaining buttermilk mixture add egg; beat well.
6. Return each coated tomato to buttermilk, making sure each side is well coated.
7. Return to coating mix one more time coating both sides.
8. In a medium size skillet over medium high, heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil till hot but not smoking.
