Fried green tomatoes are exactly that- thick sliced green tomates dredged in flour and cornmeal and fried until golden brown. They taste NOTHING like tomatoes, trust me- I really am not sure how to describe them- maybe a cross between okra and eggplant? That would be my description.
To make them, all you do is slice a nice green tomato into thick slices, about 1/4″ and season with salt and pepper. Allow to drain on a paper towel for about 5 minutes and then dip each piece in flour, then in a mixture of 1 egg and 5 tbs milk, finally dip in cornmeal.
Fry in a small amount of oil for 4-5 minutes per side over med/high heat. Drain on a paper towel and allow them to cool slightly so you don’t burn your tongue.
