Recipe Introduction


I happen to live about 15 miles from where the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes" was filmed, and there is indeed a Whistle Stop Cafe that serves fried green tomatoes, although it was opened after the filming. Even so, those of us who remember the movie avoid ordering the barbecue. This recipe differs slightly from the traditional in that the tomatoes are deep-fried, which is the secret to keeping the coating on the tomatoes rather than the bottom of a skillet.



List of Ingredients




4 medium-sized green tomatoes, sliced 1/4 inch (5 mm) thick
1/2 cup (125 ml) buttermilk
2 eggs
1/2 tsp (2 ml) salt
1/2 tsp (2 ml) freshly ground black pepper
About 1/2 cup (125 ml) flour seasoned with salt and pepper to taste
Vegetable oil for deep frying



Recipe





In a large bowl combine the buttermilk, eggs, salt, and pepper, and mix well. Put the tomato slices in this mixture, toss to coat, and let sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes. Dip each slice of tomato in the seasoned flour mixture and fry, a few at a time, in a deep fryer with 3 to 4 inches (8 to 10 cm) of oil that has been heated to 350F (180C). Fry for 3 to 5 minutes, until golden brown. Serves 4 to 6.
