I am just about ready to give up on anything more ripening out there.

What's your way to do these?

Thanks!

I've never tried to oven fry them. Would they get crispy? We don't have them that often, so I go for the pan frying, too. We had them for dinner last night. I tried a new recipe. I dipped them seasoned flour, egg and then panko crumbs then fried them in butter/olive oil.

This is the recipe I use. Just substitute "green tomato slices" for "eggplant" in the recipe. I like a little crisp batter, but not a lot so this recipe is to my liking. Crisp Fried Eggplant Gourmet : April 1990 Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less. Yield: Serves 2 as a side dish or first course 1/3 cup cornstarch 1 large egg 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt plus additional for sprinkling the eggplant 1 cup fresh bread crumbs 1 small eggplant (about 1/4 pound), cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices vegetable oil for deep-frying lemon wedges if desired Put the cornstarch, the egg beaten with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and the bread crumbs in separate small dishes. Dredge each eggplant slice in the cornstarch, coating it thoroughly and shaking off the excess, coat it with the egg mixture, and dredge it in the bread crumbs, pressing on the crumbs to make them adhere. Transfer the eggplant as it is coated to paper towels and let it dry slightly. In a deep heavy skillet fry the eggplant slices in batches in 1/2 inch of 375Â°F. oil for 1 minute on each side, or until they are golden brown, and transfer them with tongs to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle the eggplant lightly with the additional salt and serve it with the lemon wedges.

Fried Green Tomatoes With Vidalia Onion Dressing (Pictures)
Q
Comments (7)
Thank you, everyone! Here's the recipe for the dressing. Vidalia Onion Relish 1 cup onions, diced 1 Tblsp. vinegar (I used red wine vinegar) 1/2 cup mayo 1 Tblsp. brown sugar. Blend last three ingredients together, then add onions. Whisk together until smooth. Serve over fried green tomatoes. Enjoy! The batter we use is a brand name batter (Whistle Stop). They do have a website but you can check the little grocery stores (where I found mine). I saved some tomatoes and dressing for myself when we have BLTs tomorrow for lunch. I'm using the fried green tomatoes and dressing instead of ripe tomatoes and plain mayo. I'll post a picture of that as well! Brad AKA Moonwolf

RECIPE: Fried green tomatoes
Q
Comments (28)
Yes, indeed Fried Green Tomatoes are often served @breakfast or brunch,especially in Louisiana. Most of the other recipes here all work fine, too. But here's my recipe with a slight Cajun twist. Takes a bit more time but worth it,I think. Slice tomatoes & place in a glass shallow dish. Cover with a mixture of buttermilk or milk with a TLBS. of vinegar, one egg, seasoned or plain salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper and several dashes of TABASCO. Don't worry; the TABASCO will NOT make the tomatoes hot or too spicey; it just adds a, "zing," that some will wonder about. Soak tomatoes in mixture for at least one hr. Adding a bit of stale beer to the mixture helps set-up the tomatoes for a more crispy/yeasty texture when added to the coating. I usually use a plastic or brown paper bag for my coating. For the coating, mix equal parts flour, corn meal & dry bread crumbs and add a bit more salt and pepper. Place the pre-soaked tomatoes to the coating and cover them well with it. Now, here's where I go one step further. I return the coated tomatoes to the milk mixture and then back into the flour/cornmeal coating. Fry in an iron skillet, if possible, with at least one inch of both bacon drippings and vegetable oil. Peanut oil works well, too. Do not use Olive oil! Fry at a fairly high temp. but not too high so that you end-up with a fried outside but a hard tomatoe. Best served soon after. I sometimes make a dipping sauce of melted VELVEETA ( I hate it; but it works best), a bit of Thousand Island salad dressing, sour cream and just a touch of horseradish. I also fry onions along with my tomatoes on ocassion. Try it and taste for yourself. Let me know how it turned out for you even if you did not like them, let me know that, too and tell me how it might be improved.

To retain moisture, wrap in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator. May be frozen. this is the website for it Green Tomato Bread this site has an awesome looking recipe with pics of green tomato pie, I have never had it but I want to try some Deep Dish Green Tomato Pie

I combined a couple of recipes and ideas I found on line. They did indeed come out nice and crispy in the oven.

Oven "Fried" Green Tomatoes - from http://southerngirlrecipes.blogspot.com/2009/09/oven-fried-green-tomatoes.html

1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup panko
1 tsp Creole Seasoning
1 egg white
3 green tomatoes sliced into 1/2 inch slices

Preheat oven to 375. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray foil with nonstick cooking spray.
In a shallow dish, combine cornmeal, panko, and seasonings.
In a separate shallow dish, lightly beat egg white.
Dip each slice of tomato in the beaten egg white; dredge in cornmeal mixture to coat. Place on prepared baking sheet. Spray each tomato with nonstick cooking spray. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Turn tomato slices and spray the other side with nonstick cooking spray. Bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned.

I put them on top of a baby greens salad with a vinaigrette and served with dollops of this remoulade sauce, from http://www.mustardsgrill.com (I made half this much, and it was more than enough):
Â 1 cup mayonnaise
Â 1 Tbs Dijon mustard
Â 1 scallion, white and light green parts only, minced
Â 1 Tbs capers, rinsed and minced
Â 2 Tbs minced fresh tarragon or chervil (I used dried)
Â 2 Tbs minced fresh parsley, rinsed and squeezed dry
Â 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Combine all the ingredients and mix well. Cover and refrigerate until needed.

Leftovers will make a great breakfast "sandwich" with fresh mozzarella slices.

Because FGT are a staple side dish on our table, I will be giving the oven method a try. Thank you.
