Fried Green Tomato Wedges Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium shallow bowl, combine the cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper; set aside. In another shallow bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and lime juice (the mixture may appear curdled); set aside.
• In a large cast-iron or heavy skillet, pour oil to a depth of 1/2 inch; heat until a deep-fry thermometer measures 375 degrees. Meanwhile, working in batches, dip tomatoes in buttermilk mixture, then in cornmeal mixture. Set aside on a large plate; repeat with remaining tomatoes.
• Fry tomatoes, working in batches, until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate. Season with salt while hot. Serve warm with basil-lime mayonnaise.

Steps:

• Place tomato slices in a bowl of ice water; soak for about 5 minutes.
• Heat about 1/2 inch of canola oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
• Combine cornmeal and flour in a bowl.
• Remove tomato slices from ice water, one at at time, and coat lightly in the cornmeal mixture; shake off any excess. Place in the hot oil.
• Cook tomato slices, working in batches, until edges are golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle lightly with salt.

Steps:

• Slice tomatoes 1/2 inch thick. Discard the ends.
• Whisk eggs 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.
• 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.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, garlic powder, and cayenne together. Pour the buttermilk into a separate bowl and season with salt and pepper. Dip the tomatoes in the buttermilk and then dredge them in the cornmeal mixture, coating both sides well.
• Place a large cast iron skillet over medium heat and coat with the oil. When the oil is hot, pan-fry the tomatoes (in batches if necessary) until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Carefully remove the tomatoes and drain on paper towels. Serve with hot pepper sauce and lemon.

Steps:

• Core 1 1/2 pounds small green tomatoes and cut into wedges. Bring 2 cups water and 1/2 cup white wine vinegar to a boil in a saucepan. Add the tomatoes in batches and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes; drain and let cool. Whisk 1/4 cup each white wine vinegar, olive oil, chopped parsley and chopped mint and 1 tablespoon each kosher salt, sugar and minced Fresno chile in a large bowl. Add the tomatoes and toss. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.

Steps:

• Combine cornmeal, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper in medium bowl & set aside.
• Whisk together the buttermilk, eggs and lime juice & set aside. This will curdle slightly.
• Pour oil in frying pan to a depth of 1/2" & heat.
• Working in batches, dip tomatoes in buttermilk mixture, then in the cornmeal mixture.
• Fry tomatoes until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side.
• Place first on paper towel to soak up excess oil, and serve on plate lined with parchment paper.
• Sprinkle with a bit of salt while hot.
