Ingredients
- 4 large green tomatoes
- 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices. Set aside.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, mix the flour, 1 teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and remaining 1 teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning.
Step 4
In a third shallow dish, place the cornmeal.
Step 5
Dredge each tomato slice in the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Then dip it in the buttermilk mixture, and finally coat it in the cornmeal.
Step 6
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 7
Working in batches, fry the tomato slices for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the skillet.
Step 8
Remove the fried tomatoes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as remoulade or ranch.
