Inspired by our trip to Charleston, S.C.
As we posted earlier in the week Charleston S.C was a terrific city to visit with a ton of activities to do for all and delicious restaurants for everyone!
Here is a fantastic little appetizer or side dish that they are known for their FRIED GREEN TOMATOES!
Just like the movie years back, this is a cute lil number that should be revisited!
Check out this recipe and add it to your meal planning for the week!
Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized, firm green tomatoes
- Salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 1/2 cup milk, almond milk or buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- ¼ black pepper
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/3 cup fine white cornmeal
- 1/2 cup fine dry bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup peanut, canola, or olive oil for frying
All you have to do is:
Simply clean and slice green tomatoes.
In small bowls add the flour and Cajun seasoning (if using), 2) milk , almond milk or buttermilk and egg, and 3) breadcrumbs and cornmeal.
Whisk together the egg and milk.
Bread the tomato slices:
Heat the oil in a skillet on medium heat. Dip the green tomato slices in the flour-seasoning and pepper flakes, then the buttermilk-egg mixture, then the cornmeal-breadcrumb.
To top off this delicious bite add either a regional remoulade, or my go to Hot Sauce, (Yes I keep mine in my bag too)
*All remoulades are based on either oil or mayonnaise, and most have mustard, garlic, paprika, and Cajun or Creole seasonings.
