Print Options
Description
Recipe found from the South. Fried green tomatoes are covered in a tangy, savory, bacony, garlicy sauce. You will lick your plate clean!
Ingredients
- 4 whole Green Tomatoes
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 cup Corn Meal
- 1 cup Flour
- Spices Of Choice (I Used A Littley Cayenne And Salt And Pepper)
- 1 pound Medium Shrimp Deveined
- 1 whole Garlic
- ¾ cups White Wine (sweeter For A Less Tangy Taste)
- ½ cups Lemon Juice
- 2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
- ½ cups Butter
- 5 slices Bacon Crumbled
- ½ teaspoons Red Pepper Flakes
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
Preparation
For Fried Tomatoes:
Dip tomatoes first in butter milk. Then dip into dry ingredient mixture of corn meal, flour and your spice choices. Fry in oil of choice (I did it in just a pan) for about 3 minutes each, until brown and crispy.
For Blanc Sauce:
First roast a whole garlic by cutting the top off. Put garlic on a pan covered in tin foil and drizzle olive oil over the top. Bake at 350 degree for about 25 minutes. It’s done when you can just squeeze the cloves out and they are soft.
Saute shrimp in a little butter until pink and set to the side.
Squeeze garlic cloves into pan and add wine and lemon juice. Cook on medium heat until it’s reduced by about 50% to 75%.
Add whipping cream and simmer on medium low heat for about 10 to15 minutes. It will thicken just a little.
Add butter and stir until smooth. Add bacon, shrimp salt, pepper, and ground red pepper and cook until warm.
Smother tomatoes in sauce and serve.

I made this last weekend and all I can say is make.this.now!!
It is delicious, fattening yes, but deliciously worth it! My hubby claimed it as restaurant worthy. The only thing I altered was the amount of lemon juice by half and the butter almost by half.
Thanks so much for posting

This was fabulous! No negative comments, from 4 very different “eaters.” Everyone had seconds, & we ran out of sauce before we ran out of tomatoes… which was okay, since all of us like fried green tomatoes. Absolutely wonderful, simple, delicious!

I always use a little less lemon and a little sweeter wine with this recipe… that way it’s not soooooo tangy. I’m soooo glad you tried it!

I made this last night and we loved it, but it is really, really lemony. Even to someone like me who loves lemon. I will definitely make it again and just cut the juice back to 1/4 or 1/3 of a cup. Great recipe, butterbean!

The best I ever had in the South were stacked with goat cheese and a roasted red pepper sauce. I’ve been wanting to recreate it, but this sounds even better.
