Fried Green Tomatoes - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
2 large green tomatoes
1 cup flour
1 cup plain breadcrumbs
1 cup potato flakes
3 tablespoons garlic powder
3 tablespoons onion powder
1 cup cornstarch
2 cups buttermilk
1 (12 ounce) bottle frank's red hot sauce (optional)
Preparation
-
Heat oil in a deep fryer, cast iron pan or what ever you use to deep fry.
Cut off the top and discard. Slice tomatoes into 1/2 slices and discard the bottom.
In a large bowl combine all the dry ingrediants except the corn starch. With a wisk stir until mixed well.
Add corn starch to a deep bowl.
Pour buttermilk into a bowl.
Lightly salt the tomato slices on both sides. The Frank's hot sauce has salt, so don't go overboard. If you choose not to use Frank's use a little more salt.
When the oil is at temperature use a fork to pick up a slice. Put it into the cornstarch and coat. Tap off the excess cornstarch and dip into the buttermilk a couple times. Then coat it the flour mixture.
Add to the oild and repeat until you have several slices cooking.
Occasionally flip to brown evenly on both sides.
Once they are golden brown, remove from oil and place on a pan or plate covered in a papertowl.
(Optional) Sprinkle whatever amount of Frank's you want and enjoy.
