Fried Green Tomatoes with Sweet Tea

Fried Green Tomatoes: 
  • 3-4 green firm tomatoes, cut into 1/4 - 1/2 inch slices. 
  • buttermilk
  • fish fry breading (like Zatarain's Cajun Fish Fri, but a corn flour base with seasoning works too)
  • frying oil (lard, coconut, peanut)
Dunk slices in buttermilk, dredge in breading, fry until brown, drain on plate.

Easy if you know how to fry things. That part is critical. Practice that. If you have the temp to high you'll set the kitchen on fire, too low and you get greasy soggy yuck that no one can eat. Fried green tomatoes are just to delicious to ruin, so make sure you or someone who can help knows how to fry food.

Sweet tea is the only appropriate drink to go with this. Some say glass bottle Coca-cola is acceptable, and I can maybe support that. Maybe.
