JERSEY FRIED TOMATOES



Jersey Fried Tomatoes image

This is a recipe that my mom has made every summer since she was little. My brothers and I anxiously wait for the New Jersey tomato crops because that is the only tomato my mom will use! The key to this recipe is the bacon grease if you don't use it then it won't get the proper flavor.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 -4 lbs bacon (save the grease eat the bacon!)
1 1/2 tablespoons per 2-3 slices tomatoes
4 jersey tomatoes, sliced (when they aren't in season I use the ugly tomatoes)
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
salt and pepper
2 cups breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Mix egg, milk, salt, and pepper together.
  • Dip tomato slices in egg mixture and cover in bread crumbs.
  • In large skillet add enough bacon grease to cover pan.
  • In a large skillet fry tomato slices on each side until golden brown. (Make sure that when you flip them and during cooking that enough bacon grease is in the pan.).
  • Remove and place on paper towel.
  • Repeat until all tomato slices are cooked. Make sure to add more bacon grease to the pan between batches!
  • For a different taste my mom enjoys just dipping the tomato slices in flour and skipping the egg mixture and bread crumbs and frying the same way.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Quick & Easy Recipes

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon butter
2 celery stalks, thinly sliced
1/2 medium onion, diced
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 pints grape or cherry tomatoes, 1 pint halved
1/4 teaspoon dried basil

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, heat butter over medium. Add celery, onion, and 1/2 cup water; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until water has evaporated and celery is tender, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Add tomatoes; cook until tomatoes are soft and juicy, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in basil; season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tomatoes: Use ripe, in-season tomatoes for the best flavor. Varieties like Roma, San Marzano, or heirloom tomatoes are ideal for stewing.
  • Prepare the tomatoes properly: Core and dice the tomatoes into 1-inch pieces. If you prefer a smoother stew, you can peel the tomatoes before dicing them.
  • Sauté the aromatics: Sautéing garlic, onion, and herbs in olive oil releases their flavor and creates a flavorful base for the stew.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices: Experiment with different herbs and spices to create a unique flavor profile. Common choices include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, paprika, and chili flakes.
  • Simmer gently: Bring the tomatoes to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Adjust the consistency: If you prefer a thicker stew, you can add some tomato paste or cornstarch. If you prefer a thinner stew, you can add some water or broth.
  • Serve immediately or store for later: Jersey Fresh Stewed Tomatoes can be served immediately over pasta, rice, or grilled meats. They can also be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
