Sarahs Fried Green Tomatoes

Mmmmm…batter-dipped, crispy, fried green tomatoes. Very good with a side of blue cheese dressing!

Step: 1

Put tomato slices in a colander to drain excess liquid. Discard end slices of tomatoes.

Step: 2

Whisk milk and egg together in a bowl. Stir flour, cornmeal, panko, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper together in a separate bowl.

Step: 3

Gently press a tomato slice into the flour mixture to coat and shake to remove excess flour. Dip into the beaten egg, then press again into the flour mixture. Keep breaded tomatoes on a plate while breading the rest; do not stack.

Step: 4

Pour enough olive oil into a large skillet to reach about 1/2 inch deep. Place skillet over medium heat and heat oil until hot but not smoking. Cook 4 to 5 tomato slices at a time in the hot oil until browned on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes; turn tomatoes and continue cooking until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes more. Reheat oil between batches, adding more oil as needed to maintain 1/2-inch depth.

The most obvious way to choose a side dish is to caught at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and pick more different. When you’re cooking pasta, make sure for a simple vegetable . Making steak? Go for more light. If you’re want to cooking stir-fry with rice, it must not a good idea to also make a rice salad.

One make sure is also can apply to cooking process . You don’t want to overcommit your oven by scheduling three dishes at once in there, or be rounding four pans on the stovetop . But often you can make a dish do double-duty .
