    Cajun Fried Green Tomatoes

    Source of Recipe


    From "My Southern Food" by Devon O'Day

    List of Ingredients


    • 1/2 cup bacon grease (or vegetable oil)
    • 4 large green tomatoes, washed and sliced 1/4-inch thick (peel left on)
    • 1-1/2 Tbsp Cajun seasoning
    • 2 cups plain yellow cornmeal
    • 1/3 cup self-rising corneal


    Instructions


    1. Heat the bacon grease to medium-high (cornmeal should sizzle and bubble when you drop it in to test before the tomatoes are fried).

    2. Lay out the tomato slices on a large pan or wax paper. Evenly sprinkle on one side and then the other with the Cajun seasoning. Mix the cornmeals in a flat bowl or baking pan, and carefully dredge each tomato slice.

    3. Fry until golden on one side, and then turn to fry golden on the other. This will happen fast, about 1 minute on each side. Color is your only indicator. The crust will fall off easily, so carefully lift the tomato slices with a metal turner, and move to a serving platter lined with a paper towel to soak up any excess grease.

      Makes 8 to 10 servings.
