2 green tomatoes, cut into 1/2 inch slices
1 cup milk
1 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup flour
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups fresh milk
3 ears corn, cut off the cob, cut very fine
1/3 cup cornmeal
2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoons salt
2 eggs, beaten separated
2 tablespoons butter
12 shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 sweet Vidalia onion, minced
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1/4 cup flour
3 cups chicken stock
1/4 chopped parsley
2 quarts boiling water
1 tablespoons white vinegar
Pinch salt
2 eggs

Steps:

  • For the Fried Green Tomatoes: Soak tomatoes in milk. Mix cornmeal and flour. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. In a large saute pan over medium-high heat add butter. Dredge tomatoes in a cornmeal until completely covered. Carefully place tomatoes in a saute pan and fry for 2 minutes on each side. Drain on a paper towel; season with fresh cracked pepper.
  • For the Sweet Corn Spoonbread: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bring to a boil one-cup of milk; add corn and cornmeal, stirring constantly, and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the fire and beat in butter, sugar, salt, and the remaining milk. The cold milk should cool the mixture. Beat egg yolks. In a separate bowl, beat whites until stiff, then fold the stiffly beaten whites into egg yolks. Add to cooled milk mixture. Pour the mixture into a buttered dish and bake for 30 minutes.
  • For the Smothered Shrimp: In a medium saute pan over high heat add butter and saute the shrimp. When the shrimp are slightly pink, add the onions and garlic and saute until translucent. Dust with flour and stir well incorporated to a paste. Add chicken stock 1 cup at a time working, with a wooden spoon. When gravy is formed, season with salt and pepper, and finish with chopped parsley.
  • For the Poached Eggs: Bring water to a boil; add vinegar and salt. Crack 2 eggs and poach for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon.
  • To Assemble: In a soup bowl, scoop a small amount of spoonbread into the center. Top with poached eggs and garnish with shrimp and chopped parsley.

Number Of Ingredients 6

all amounts are approximate, as i never measure for this, i just pour the amount i think i will need. 3 tomatoes is more than enough for the hubs and myself.
3 large, green tomatoes
abt 1 1/2 c miracle maize cornbread & muffin mix - sweet flavored
1 c milk
salt and pepper to taste, i leave out
oil for frying

Steps:

  • 1. Pour milk into medium sized bowl. Place Miracle Maize into a shallow bowl (I use a paper plate.)
  • 2. Remove stem and core from tomatoes, wash and pat dry. Slice tomatoes into medium sized slices and place in bowl of milk.
  • 3. In skillet, begin to heat oil over med-high heat. (you want enough oil to come half way up the side of the tomato slices)
  • 4. Remove tomato slices from milk and dredge both sides into Miracle Maize, then dip back into milk and then back into Miracle Maize.
  • 5. Place breaded tomato slices into hot oil and fry until browned, turn and fry second side until golden. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towel. Repeat for any remaining tomato slices. Keep eye on tomato slices, they will burn easily as they fry. Serve hot with your favorite condiment. The hubs likes mustard on his. When I was a kid, we ate them on bread with mustard. Yummy!
