Ingredients
- Green Tomatoes
- Cornmeal, coarse grind if you can find
- Salt
- Pepper
- Buttermilk or egg (Optional, might not need}
- Bacon drippings or Peanut oil
Directions
- Heat oil is large cast iron skillet, enough bacon grease or oil to cover bottom, but not so much that when you put the tomato in that it floats.
- Slice tomatoes about 1/4" thick. You don't want them too thin or they fall apart during frying.
- Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Dredge in cornmeal and fry to brown on both sides.
- My Maw Maw would sometimes dip in buttermilk or egg depending on what was in the house first and than dredge and fry because she said sometimes the cornmeal won't adhere right to the tomato and you won't have enough breading.

I didn't have this dish until after I had seen the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes." They looked so good I had to try them! Once they are fried, I drizzle a thin bacon/milk gravy over them!

Ohhhh, and if only I could get some green tomatoes! It was a bad year for raising tomatoes in drought stricken south Tx, and water restrictions did not help. I can sure just taste them.....ohhh, sigh!

Southern comfort food. This recipe is as authentic as it gets.
For those who have never fried green tomatoes - be sure the tomatoe is solid green all the way through. Any redness gives a bitter taste.
