Best 9 Fried Roma Tomatoes Recipes

BEST FRIED GREEN TOMATOES

Steps:

• Slice tomatoes 1/2 inch thick. Discard the ends.
• Whisk eggs and milk together in a medium-size bowl. Scoop flour onto a plate. Mix cornmeal, bread crumbs and salt and pepper on another plate. Dip tomatoes into flour to coat. Then dip the tomatoes into milk and egg mixture. Dredge in breadcrumbs to completely coat.
• In a large skillet, pour vegetable oil (enough so that there is 1/2 inch of oil in the pan) and heat over a medium heat. Place tomatoes into the frying pan in batches of 4 or 5, depending on the size of your skillet. Do not crowd the tomatoes, they should not touch each other. When the tomatoes are browned, flip and fry them on the other side. Drain them on paper towels.

CHINESE STIR-FRIED TOMATOES AND EGGS

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs well with 1 teaspoon salt, sesame oil and rice wine or sherry. In a small bowl, stir together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water until well combined, then stir in the sugar and ketchup.
• If using fresh tomatoes, core and cut them into 1/2-inch wide wedges.
• Heat a wide nonstick skillet over high heat with 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil. When the oil shimmers, add most of the scallions, saving some to garnish. Cook, stirring, until very aromatic, about 20 seconds. Add the eggs, and cook, stirring well with a spatula or chopsticks, until just set but still runny, about 45 seconds. Pour the eggs back into the mixing bowl, and wipe out the pan.
• Reheat the pan over high heat with the remaining tablespoon of oil. When it is hot, add the ginger and cook until aromatic, about 15 seconds. Add the tomatoes and salt to taste; cook, stirring occasionally, until the flesh has softened but still has some shape and the juices have begun to form a sauce, 2-3 minutes. (If using canned tomatoes, add the juice as well and cook about 4 minutes, to reduce it to a saucelike consistency.)
• Reduce the heat to medium. Give the cornstarch-ketchup mixture a stir in its bowl, then stir it into the pan. Cook, stirring, until the sauce returns to a boil and thickens. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, sugar or more ketchup - you want a savory, tart-sweet sauce. Stir the eggs in the bowl to cut up the curds a bit, then return them to the pan. Cook, stirring, for a few seconds to finish cooking the eggs and to combine. Top with the reserved scallions, and serve with steamed rice.

FRIED GREEN TOMATOES WITH COMEBACK SAUCE

Steps:

• For the comeback sauce: Stir together the mayonnaise, ketchup, lemon juice, mustard, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 2 days.
• For the fried green tomatoes: Whisk together the buttermilk, hot sauce, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a medium shallow bowl. Gently add the tomato slices, cover and refrigerate for 4 to 8 hours.

• Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, garlic, paprika, parsley, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a shallow bowl.
• Shake any extra moisture from the tomatoes, then place in the cornmeal mixture one at a time, gently pressing and flipping once to coat all surfaces. Transfer to a large plate or platter.
• Fry the tomatoes in batches until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Transfer to the prepared cooling rack and sprinkle with salt. Serve immediately with the comeback sauce on the side.
