Fried Red Tomatoes Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together basil, thyme, salt, and white pepper. Mix in 5 teaspoons olive oil to make a spreadable paste. Spread paste on cut side of each tomato half.
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in small skillet over medium-low heat. Place tomatoes herb-side down in skillet, and cover. Simmer for 5 minutes; tomatoes should be hot but not stewed. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Pour vegetable oil into a skillet to a depth of about 1/4 inch and heat on high heat until hot.
• Break the egg into a bowl and whisk. Pour the cornmeal into a second bowl, add the cornstarch and some salt and pepper and mix.
• Dip the tomato slices first in the egg and then in the cornmeal mixture to coat completely. Add to the skillet and fry for 1 to 2 minutes a side.
• Spread both slices of bread with the mayo and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pile the cooked tomatoes onto one of the bread slices. Place the basil leaves onto the second slice, then sandwich the slices. Cut in half and serve.

Steps:

• Cut tomatoes into 1/2-inch slices. Sprinkle with coarse salt and cracked black pepper. Place flour, eggs, and crumbs in separate shallow bowls. Heat the oil with a dollop of butter, in a medium skillet on medium heat. Dip the tomato slices in the flour, then the eggs, and then crumbs. In batches, fry half the coated slices at a time, for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Coat the remaining tomatoes in the flour, egg and bread crumb mixture, and cook. Remove the tomatoes to a warm serving tray. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream, crumbled crisp prosciutto, and a sprinkle of fresh chopped chives.

Steps:

• Cut tomatoes into thick slices. Put aside.
• Mix flour, salt and pepper in shallow dish for coating.
• Heat butter and olive oil in pan, until it's hot enough to fry inches.
• Pre-heat oven to warm setting. (Lowest setting).
• Coat tomato slices in flour mixture.
• Place in pan until gloden brown.
• Place on baking sheet and place in warm oven until ready to serve. (I think they taste better if put in the oven for a little bit because it crisps them up a bit.).

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:

• Combine the mustard, worcestershire sauce, sugar, salt, papriks and red pepper in a small bowl.
• Spread this mixture on both sides of the tomato slices.
• Dredge the tomato slices in cornmeal.
• Heat 1/4" bacon drippings in a skillet.
• When hot, saute the tomato slices until lightly browned and crisp.
• Drain and serve hot.
