Fried Green Tomatoes

I let the kids help me pick tomatoes from our garden this weekend. Mr. B ended up picking a large green tomato and I thought it was a good time to try fried green tomatoes.So fried green tomatoes were our Try Something New this week!

I sliced the tomatoes and dipped them in a seasoned cornmeal mixture. The tomatoes were fried up in vegetable oil just until slightly browned.

It was a different taste than what I expected. A little tangy and not reminiscent of a ripe tomato. Hubby and I liked the fried green tomatoes but the boys did not. I was so proud of them for trying them though!

Next time I make them I will try Italian breadcrumbs instead of cornmeal. I think the boys will like that better since they don’t like the texture of cornmeal.

Have you tried fried green tomatoes?
