Green Tomatoes

[Moosemaple]

Could someone please tell me how to fry green tomatoes? My mother used to fry them but I never paid any attention to how she did it. I think she used to put some kind of batter on them and then fry them in butter.

I am not a corn meal fan so I usually skip that.

Ingredients

• 4 large green tomatoes
  
• 2 eggs
  
• 1/2 cup milk
  
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
  
• 1/2 cup cornmeal
  
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  
• 2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
  
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  
• 1 quart vegetable oil for frying
  

1. Slice tomatoes 1/2 inch thick. Discard the ends.
   
2. Whisk eggs and milk together in a medium-size bowl. Scoop flour onto a plate. Mix cornmeal, bread crumbs and salt and pepper on another plate. Dip tomatoes into flour to coat. Then dip the tomatoes into milk and egg mixture. Dredge in breadcrumbs to completely coat.
   
3. In a large skillet, pour vegetable oil (enough so that there is 1/2 inch of oil in the pan) and heat over a medium heat. Place tomatoes into the frying pan in batches of 4 or 5, depending on the size of your skillet. Do not crowd the tomatoes, they should not touch each other. When the tomatoes are browned, flip and fry them on the other side. Drain them on paper towels.
   

I have also done them in a thin pancake batter too. That has more of a battered texture rather than a breaded.

I'm frying up a bunch to eat and freeze...to bake later....can't get them all covered and the nights have gotten colder earlier this year doing them out on the grill so the house doesn't smell
