Description
Crispy fried green tomatoes served with a tangy remoulade sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 green tomatoes, sliced 1/2 inch thick
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- For the Remoulade:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons chopped celery
- 1 tablespoon chopped green onion
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the remoulade sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, celery, green onion, parsley, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Stir well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Prepare the tomatoes: Pat the tomato slices dry with paper towels.
- Set up your dredging station: Place flour in one shallow dish, beaten eggs in another, and panko breadcrumbs mixed with salt and pepper in a third.
- Dredge the tomato slices: Coat each tomato slice first in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally press into the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating.
- Heat the oil: Pour vegetable oil into a large skillet to a depth of about 1/2 inch. Heat over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Fry the tomatoes: Carefully place the breaded tomato slices in the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain the tomatoes: Remove the fried tomatoes from the skillet and place them on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain excess oil.
- Serve: Serve the fried green tomatoes immediately with the prepared remoulade sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Ensure your tomatoes are firm and green for best results.
- Do not overcrowd the skillet when frying to maintain oil temperature and achieve crispiness.
