Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups yellow cornmeal
4 teaspoons coarse salt, plus more for seasoning
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
2 cups buttermilk
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (about 2 limes)
Canola oil, for frying
3 large green tomatoes, cut into 1-inch-thick wedges
Basil-Lime Mayonnaise

Steps:

  • In a medium shallow bowl, combine the cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper; set aside. In another shallow bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and lime juice (the mixture may appear curdled); set aside.
  • In a large cast-iron or heavy skillet, pour oil to a depth of 1/2 inch; heat until a deep-fry thermometer measures 375 degrees. Meanwhile, working in batches, dip tomatoes in buttermilk mixture, then in cornmeal mixture. Set aside on a large plate; repeat with remaining tomatoes.
  • Fry tomatoes, working in batches, until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate. Season with salt while hot. Serve warm with basil-lime mayonnaise.

These were a waste of time. The tomatoes were bland and the breading was too thick. I won't be making these again.

I've tried many fried green tomato recipes, but this one is by far the best. The tomatoes are always crispy and juicy, and the breading is flavorful and golden brown. I highly recommend this recipe!

These fried green tomatoes were amazing! The breading was crispy and flavorful, and the tomatoes were juicy and tender. I served them with ranch dressing and they were a hit!

These were a disappointment. The tomatoes were mushy and the breading was soggy. I won't be making these again.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The tomatoes are always crispy and juicy, and the breading is flavorful and golden brown.

These were a hit at my party! I made a double batch and they were all gone in minutes. Everyone raved about how good they were.

Not a fan. The tomatoes were too mushy and the breading was bland. I think I'll stick to fried green tomatoes from a restaurant.

Easy to make and so yummy! I used panko breadcrumbs and added a little bit of garlic powder to the breading. Served with ranch dressing and everyone loved them.

Absolutely delicious! The tomatoes were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The breading was flavorful and the dipping sauce was perfect. I will definitely be making this again!
