Well on the
heels of Wellness Wednesday I’m going to share a recipe. It isn’t really a
healthy one but it is a delicious one! My husband loves down-home cooking. He
especially loves fried green tomatoes. I personally had never made or even
attempted to make them but found out that all you have to do is grab your
tomatoes off the plant before they ripen and you have green tomatoes ready to
go. This is actually perfect because recently it has turned a bit cooler here
and our tomato plants have decided to grow tomatoes but not turn them before
they die. So, I picked a bunch off and searched the internet for a tasty
recipe.
I found one
and added my own twist.
Fried Green Tomatoes
Ingredients
·
3 medium, firm green
tomatoes (or as many small ones as you pick from your garden)
·
Salt
·
1 cup all-purpose
flour
·
1 Tbsp Cajun
seasoning (optional)
·
1/2 cup Almond milk
(with ½ tablespoon white vinegar), regular milk can be substituted
·
1 egg
·
1/3 cup cornmeal
·
1/2 cup fine dry
bread crumbs
·
1/2 tablespoon milled
flaxseed
·
1/4 olive oil
Method
1 Cut unpeeled tomatoes into 1/2 inch slices. Sprinkle slices
with salt. Let tomato slices stand for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, place in separate
shallow bowls: the flour and Cajun seasoning (if using), Almond milk and egg,
and bread crumbs, cornmeal, and flaxseed.
2 Beat the egg and the buttermilk together. Dip tomato slices
in the flour-seasoning mix, then buttermilk-egg mixture, then the
cornmeal-bread crumb mix. TIP: Use a fork to move the pieces from bowl to bowl,
if you use your fingers you end up with a huge mess.
3 Heat the olive oil in a skillet on
medium heat. In the skillet, fry the coated tomato slices, for 3-5 minutes on
each side or until brown. Set the cooked tomatoes on paper towels to drain.
The hubbs loves these!
