SOUTHERN FRIED GREEN TOMATOES RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large shallow bowl combine flour and spices. Whisk or stir to combine and set aside.
• .Use a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife and cutting board to slice each tomato into 1/4 inch pieces (no larger). Lay the sliced green tomatoes out on a large cookie sheet or plate and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Next dredge each slice in the flour mixture until coated shaking off the excess. Return to the cookie sheet and let sit for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes the tomatoes will begin to soak up some of the flour mixture. Once this happens dredge the tomatoes through the flour mixture a second time shaking off the excess.
• Add vegetable oil to a large deep skillet and heat over medium heat. You want the oil about an inch deep. Once the oil is shimmering, add your green tomatoes in and fry for 3-5 minutes per side until they are brown and crispy.
• Once golden brown remove from the oil and place on a paper towel lined plate and continue to fry in batches until all the tomatoes are fried. Serve warm with hot mayo sauce.
