Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups plain breadcrumbs
1/2 cup chopped parsley
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1-2 cloves of garlic, pressed
All-purpose flour, as needed
1 egg
1 cup of milk
1 green tomato

Steps:

  • For the breadcrumbs:
  • Combine all of the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and process until blended, about 30 to 45 seconds.
  • For the fried green tomatoes:
  • Using 3 shallow bowls, fill one with the all-purpose flour, another with the egg wash, and another with the breadcrumbs.
  • Slice the tomato into ΒΌ inch thick slices. Dredge the slices in the flour, then the egg wash, and then lastly the breadcrumbs.
  • Fry the slices in a deep fryer or a large skillet, turning them over when one side is brown.
  • Notes and Substitutions: Only use green tomatoes-once they start to become ripe and turn pink they do not fry as well.
