Bacon Fried Green Tomatoes
This is for Facebook friends who wanted to know how I made my fried green tomatoes. The recipe turned out so well, I thought I'd write it down and share it.
2 green tomatoes cored and sliced thin
1 t sea salt
1 egg
1/2 c buttermilk
3/4 c flour
1/4 c cornmeal
1 t. black pepper
1/2 cup bacon fat (very important. no substitutes) or the renderings from 1 pound of fried bacon
1. Combine the sea salt and tomato slices in a colander and let sit for a half hour to removed the extra moisture.
2. Mix together egg and buttermilk in a bowl, set aside.
3. Mix the flour, corn meal, and pepper in a separate bowl and set aside.
4. Heat up the bacon grease in a cast iron skillet.
5. Dip the tomato slices first into the liquid mixture and then the dry mixture.
6. Fry in hot bacon grease about 3 minutes per side.
