This dish isn't for everyone. But if you like fried green tomatoes or you haven't tried it before and are feeling a little adventurous, then this is a great recipe! Hope you try it out.
Prep time: 15mins Cook time: 10mins
Servings: 4
Ingredients
4 large green tomatoes (or Tomatillo tomatoes if you can't find green tomatoes)
3 egg whites
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
Grated parmesan cheese
Directions
1. Slice tomatoes 1/8 inch thick. Discard the ends.
2. Whisk egg whites 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.
4. Sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese before serving
I served them with a dip made out of dijon mustard, a bit of mayonnaise, some horseradish and a dash of red wine vinegar.
