I've seen the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes" (loved it by the way) and now it is the feature playing in my kitchen.
To test out this recipe we used 2 green tomatoes.
Dredged them in a mix of cornmeal, salt, and pepper (just enough to coat)
Then fried them until brown and crisp on each side.
The result were these tasty little morsels.
I topped them with a mix of sour cream and hot sauce (I prefer to use Frank's Red Hot Sauce)
I used 1 Tbsp of sour cream and then as many shakes of hot sauce as I thought we could handle (we like things spicy, even in the kitchen).
My children were not fans, but hey you can't win them all.
My husband and I though enjoyed them very much and look forward to including these in our rotation.
For a variant, next go round, we are going to try a wet batter and compare (it may end up being more like an onion ring...and really is that a bad thing?).
I hope you all have a Happy Monday and if you get a chance please vote for me at Circle of Moms in their Top 25 Family Blogs. The button to vote is on the right hand side.
I appreciate any and all support.

Those look delish! I'm excited about the day I get to purchase green tomatoes again. Do let us know how the wet batter ones turn out. :)
ReplyDeleteNot only do the tomatoes look delicious, but I love the idea of combining sour cream and hot sauce for a quick condiment!
ReplyDeleteHot sauce is the BOMB in my book and really can go on just about anything.
ReplyDeleteThe sour cream adds a little coolness to temper the hot.
Give it a whirl I promise it will not disappoint.
I want some!

A local place where I live makes a Fried Green Tomato BLT sandwich. They top it off with some garlic aioli. I think they use a batter more like onion rings for theirs. I'm watching the green tomatoes in my garden like a hawk so that they get big enough to try frying. I hope your second experiment with the "onion ring style batter" works out well.
