Fried Green Tomatoes Recipe With Comeback Sauce

FRIED GREEN TOMATOES RECIPE WITH COMEBACK SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut the tomatoes into ¼" slices.
• In one large mixing bowl whisk together the buttermilk, egg and hot sauce. In another medium mixing bowl whisk together the cornmeal and flour then season with salt and pepper.
• Add the tomatoes to the buttermilk mixture and let sit for about 10 minutes.
• Add enough oil to a large cast iron skillet to fill 1" up the side of the pan. Heat the oil to 375ºF (190ºC).
• Working in batches, add tomatoes to the cornmeal batter and coat on both sides, pressing gently to adhere the cornmeal.
• Shake excess batter off the tomatoes and add to the skillet, frying until golden brown on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes total.
• Remove to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Repeat with the remaining tomatoes until all have been fried.
• In a small bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, sriracha, ketchup, oil, onion, garlic, Worcestershire, mustard and pepper until combined.
• Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. This sauce can be made up to 2 weeks in advance.
• Serve the tomatoes hot with the sauce for dipping.

BEST FRIED GREEN TOMATOES

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.
