Pam's Fried Green Tomato Parmesan image

We had a great crop of tomatoes this year so I was looking for things to do with green tomatoes. As I was looking at my eggplants growing and thinking of Eggplant Parmesan I thought why not Green Tomato Parmesan! I wrote the recipe here using commercial jarred marinara, but I actually use fresh tomatoes to make my marinara. Gotta...

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

6-8 green tomatoes see note
1 egg
1/4 c half and half or whole milk
1/2 c flour
1/2 c self-rising buttermilk corn meal
salt and pepper
1 qt jar marinara
1 tsp italian seasoning
2 clove garlic minced
1 c freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 c grated mozzarella
1 lb pasta of choice (we like spaghetti)
oil for frying like canola or peanut

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Slice tomatoes into 1/2 inch slices.
3. Spread out on paper towels and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 5 minutes then blot them dry.
4. Whisk egg together with the cream or milk.
5. Mix the flour and corn meal together. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
6. Dip tomato slices in egg then flour mix. Let the egg run off as much as it will, you don't want a thick coating. Place them on a baking rack as you go. Do them all before you start frying and fry the first ones you did first.
7. Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a skillet. Fry the tomatoes in batches until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
8. Once all the tomatoes are browned pour off the oil. Add the garlic to the pan and saute quickly. Add the marinara and spices and heat through.
9. You want two layers of tomatoes, so pick a baking pan that will work with the amount of tomatoes you have. Oil the pan and add a spoonful of sauce.
10. Layer a single layer of tomatoes, then marinara, then half of the cheeses. Repeat. You should have marinara left over.
11. Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes until cheese is melted.
12. While that's baking cook your pasta to serve with it. When ready to serve, toss the pasta with the left over marinara and serve along side the green tomato parmesan.
13. NOTE: I just eyeball how many tomatoes I want to use based on how many I want to serve. I allow one tomato per person unless they are small.

Tips for Making the Best Green Tomato Parmesan:

Choose firm, green tomatoes. Avoid tomatoes that are soft or have blemishes.
Slice the tomatoes thinly. This will help them cook evenly.
Dredge the tomatoes in flour. This will help them brown and crispy.
Use a large skillet. This will give the tomatoes plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
Cook the tomatoes over medium heat. This will help them cook through without burning.
Add the Parmesan cheese towards the end of cooking. This will prevent it from burning.
Serve the tomatoes immediately. They are best enjoyed hot and crispy.
Add sliced garlic and fresh basil or oregano for extra flavor.
Experiment with different types of cheese, such as mozzarella or fontina.
Serve green tomato parmesan with a side of marinara sauce or roasted vegetables.

It is a great way to use up green tomatoes, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
