Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 quarts vegetable oil, for frying
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 cup buttermilk
4 large eggs
2 cups yellow cornmeal
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
4 green tomatoes (about 1 pound), sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup hot vinegar peppers, drained and finely chopped, plus 2 tablespoons hot vinegar pepper juice
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the fried green tomatoes: Pour the vegetable oil into a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot and attach a deep-frying thermometer. Heat the oil over medium heat to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and top with a cooling rack.
  • Set up 3 low-sided dishes to make a breading station: To the first dish, add the flour, salt and black pepper and stir to combine. In the second dish, beat the buttermilk with the eggs. In the third dish, stir together the cornmeal and panko.
  • Using one hand, dredge both sides of the tomato slices in the seasoned flour, shaking each piece to remove any excess. Next, using the other hand, dip the tomato slices into the egg mixture, allowing it to drip before moving onto the third dish. Using your first hand, coat the tomato slices in the breadcrumb mixture evenly on both sides.
  • Working in batches, carefully place the breaded tomatoes into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer to the cooling rack and sprinkle each slice generously with more salt.
  • For the dipping sauce: Put the mayonnaise in a bowl, add the hot peppers and pepper juice, paprika, sugar and salt and stir to combine. Serve the fried tomatoes immediately with the dipping sauce on the side.

2 tablespoons milk
1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs

A classic southern snack that will keep you coming back! When you're picking tomatoes for this recipe, make sure they are firm, and watch the tomatoes carefully during frying to ensure they don't overcook. Otherwise, they will become mushy. We recommend serving them with our creamy buttermilk ranch. Happy dipping!
