Southern Fried Green Tomatoes Recipe
Hey Guys! Welcome back to my channel. In todays video I make Southern Fried Green Tomatoes.
This is one of my favorite Summertime dishes. We get such a large variety of fresh vegetables from the gardens but this one is loved the most. I grew these tomatoes myself in my own garden and as soon as they were medium size I knew that I’d be frying some up to share with you all. There’s lots of different ways to cook them but cornmeal salt and pepper are my #1 method. It’s simple and you are done before you even start.
I hope that anyone who doesn’t know how to cook Southern Fried Green Tomatoes will give either of these two methods a try. You’ll love them! The dipping sauce isn’t necessary but we like it. It’s the same sauce that I make for my Fried Beef Wontons.
Ranch dressing and Texas Pete hot sauce to taste.

Southern Fried Green Tomatoes
6 Medium Green Tomatoes
Choose the tomatoes at whatever ripeness that you like.
3 Cups Self Rising Cornmeal, Yellow or White
2 Eggs, slightly beaten
1 Cup Whole Milk
Cooking Oil
Accent
Salt
Pepper
1 Teaspoon Garlic Salt
1 Tablespoon Parsley Flakes
Salt and pepper tomatoes to taste. Sprinkle with Accent and parsley flakes.
Separate cornmeal into two bowls.
In the first bowl of cornmeal you won’t add any seasonings.
In the second bowl of cornmeal you will add the garlic salt and 1 Tablespoon of parsley flakes. Mix together.
For the egg wash you add your eggs to a small bowl and whisk. Add milk and whisk together.
Your assembly line should be like this,
plain cornmeal- egg wash- seasoned cornmeal.
1st- coat the tomato in the plain cornmeal.
2nd - dip the tomato in the egg wash.
3rd - gently coat the tomato in the seasoned cornmeal.
Make sure that all sides of the tomato is covered.
Place on a rack or a plate to rest until you are ready to fry.
Heat your cooking oil until it’s ready to fry, usually around 350 degrees F.
Fry your tomato’s in small batches until they are golden brown letting them rest on a cooling rack to drain the excess grease.
Serve plain or with a dipping sauce made with Ranch Dressing and Texas Pete Hot Sauce.
You can choose to use the above method or just coat your tomato’s in cornmeal, which is my favorite. Either way they are going to be delicious.
Enjoy!

Finally! A simple recipe. Most recipes they be doing too much adding flour, bread crumbs and lots of different seasoning. This is exactly what I was looking for the why my grandma and mom used to make them. Thank you

I made this recipe. Absolutely delicious. I made a batch last night or two Because I made one with flour and one with cornmeal I prefer the ones with cornmeal because I like the crunch. I'm a born and bred northerner, but my grandmother says I love southern food this is the only way I like tomatoes.

Hello, Jackie, I watched you prepare these fried green tomatoes and got so hungry they are on the menu tomorrow. Oh my gosh! Cornmeal double-coated and deep-fried. My home garden is producing an abundance of Brandywine tomatoes, and large slicers, and perfect for BLT's. But there are green and turning possibilities perfect for this recipe. The cast iron skillet is close at hand, and I will follow your direction. Thank you for sharing this recipe. Bill Bley
We ate a lot of fried green tomatoes growing up ,thanks for showing them to us, hooe your feeling better
I grew up eating fried green tomatoes. And my kids love them too
I’m making these tonight and I always enjoy watching videos to see different recipes. Your recipe is very similar to mine. I also make my own ranch to dip them in. Loved your video!

So glad you use Accent. I use straight MSG (which is Accent). MSG gets too much of a bad rap by critics who don't know what they're talking about. Your recipe is pretty much like mine, but I soak my slices in salt, the MSG and hot sauce for about 10 minutes before the dipping process.
Just a great recipe 😋
I’ve had them done with a tempura batter too which is good
I bought green tomatoes today at the farmers market...these are on my menu for tomorrow. New sub.

Miss Jackie, white Yankee boy here, I drooled on the screen watching this recipe come together! I think the double dipped ones will be a greater success with the 6 BIG STRAPPING boys I raised since I was 22 years old alone!

You just know that the words: left-overs & big daddie's house don't get used on the same sentence!😁 Like oil & water, that just don't mix/not gonna happen! You'll NEVER find left-overs in my fridge!❤️🐻🤓😇😁👍 Doug
Sister I love Ranch with fried green tomatoes too
❤❤❤
Another great recipe/cooking video. I like to add a touch of cayenne and just a little lemon pepper, but the idea to put it on a cooling rack and paper towel after you dip them in the cornmeal is an excellent idea that I never thought of. Thanks for the Pro tip!!! And I agree - 100% cornmeal! I like to put them between a couple of slices of white bread, add some hot sauce and enjoy a fried tomato sandwich. 👍❤

Oh no you didn't...LOL I have been craving fried green tomatoes so bad the past several months and I run across this video and I'm at work and can't fix anything. My mater plants haven't done very well in this 100°+ heat so I don't even have any green ones. I wonder if the farmers market would have any.... hmmm. OR you could invite me over for a mess of em. And if I cooked, I would use the left over cornbread mix to dip salmon patties in...talk about some good eatin'! Wowza! Now I'm really hungry.
Thank you so much!

Do you have any neighbors or a farmers market where you can ask for green tomatoes?
I gallon water 1/2 cup vinegar 2 Tbsp salt Place sliced green tomatoes in the jar then bring water mixture (water, vinegar, salt) to boil and pour over them. Put canning lids on and water bath for 15 minutes. (Wide mouth jars work best) When ready to cook them - Rinse in a colander and fry as usual

Random question, what do you do with the oil after you're done cooking?
@JackiesSouthernSoul
9 ай бұрын
1. You can gather it in a container and take it to the landfill. 2. You pour it in a container with the lid closed and throw it in your regular trash. This is what it says to do when you go on the waste management website. I get asked this question a lot. #2 is the method that I use mostly because I don’t use lots of oil anymore since I’m eating healthier now. I know it’s been two years since you asked the question but I’m trying to catch up on my comments.
