Description

Panko breadcrumbs give these fried green tomatoes a nice crunch, while the salty flavor of the parmesan balances the tartness of the tomatoes very nicely.

Ingredients

  • 2 whole Green Tomatoes
  • 1 cup Buttermilk
  • ½ cups All-purpose Flour
  • ⅓ cups Panko Bread Crumbs
  • ⅓ cups Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs
  • 5 Tablespoons Shredded Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Pepper

Preparation

You will also need a large cast iron or other heavy skillet/frying pan and tongs.

Method:

Slice the tomatoes into about 1/2-inch slices. Place in a bowl and cover with buttermilk. Let stand at room temperature while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

Place flour in a shallow container and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Combine panko breadcrumbs, Italian breadcrumbs and shredded parmesan in a shallow container. Combine well and also season to taste with salt and pepper.

Bring about 1 inch of oil up to about 350-375 degrees F.

Dredge the buttermilk-soaked tomato slices through the flour, back into the buttermilk, then coat with the breadcrumb/parmesan mixture. Fry until golden brown, turning once and being careful to not knock off the breading.

Allow to cool slightly and enjoy!

Excellent recipe – I’ll be sharing this one. This was my first tasting of fried green tomatoes, and definitely not my last (come on summer heat – I want some red tomatoes too!).

This was the first time I’d made — even tasted, for that matter — fried green tomatoes. I am IN LOVE! Thanks for a great recipe, I’ll be making these every summer for sure.
