FRIED GREEN TOMATOES (AUTHENTIC)



Fried Green Tomatoes (Authentic) image

These are the Fried Green Tomatoes right from the motion picture, "Fried Green Tomatoes At The Whistle Stop Cafe". They are ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!

Provided by Alan Leonetti

Categories     Vegetable

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 green tomatoes
5 cups canola oil or 6 cups vegetable oil
1 cup bacon drippings
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups milk
2 large eggs
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon celery salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 pinch paprika

Steps:

  • While preparing the dipping process for the tomatoes, heat oil and bacon drippings in a large pot over medium heat until the oil reaches 350 degrees.
  • You will need a slotted spoon to drop the tomatoes into the hot oil.
  • De-core and cut the ends off the green tomatoes.
  • Slice tomatoes into 1/2 inch thickness and set aside in a medium-sized bowl.
  • In a small bowl, set aside only 1 1/2 cups of the flour.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the milk and eggs to create an egg wash.
  • In a large bowl, combine remaining flour, cornmeal and salt.
  • Add celery salt, pepper, onion powder and paprika.
  • This is the cornmeal breading mixture for the tomatoes.
  • Line a sheet pan with parchment paper to place the breaded tomatoes on after the final dredging.
  • Begin the dipping process by dredging the tomatoes in the flour, then the egg wash, and finally through the cornmeal breading mixture.
  • Repeat this process until all the tomatoes are breaded.
  • Once the oil has reached 350 degrees, begin frying the tomatoes until golden brown on both sides.
  • The tomatoes will float to the top when finished cooking.
  • Drain on paper towels.

Tips:

  • Choose firm, ripe green tomatoes for frying. This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet for frying the tomatoes. This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the skillet when frying the tomatoes. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Fry the tomatoes in batches, if necessary, to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
  • Use a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess oil from the tomatoes after frying.
  • To make the lasagna, layer the fried green tomatoes with mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and a simple tomato sauce.
  • Bake the lasagna in a preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let the lasagna cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Fried green tomato lasagna is a delicious and unique dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its crispy fried green tomatoes, flavorful tomato sauce, and melted cheese, this lasagna is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
