Fried Green Tomatoes

First you need to sweat your tomatoes. To do this, cut tomatoes into slices, sprinkle with salt and place in a colander for at least 30 minutes, so moisture can be pulled out of tomatoes.

After 30 minutes, pat tomatoes dry.

Start heating your vegetable oil so it is hot when you are ready.

Mix flour, salt, pepper, and paprika together.

Dip tomatoes into buttermilk one at a time, then into flour mixture, then straight into grease.

Fry them immediately after dipping them. This will keep the batter light – so don’t batter all at once and set aside

Fry until golden brown.
