Fried Green Tomatoes 🍅

[16Adams]

Have some really nice sized tomatoes that are green on the vine. The plants were in the dirt around Mother's Day as we have chances for late Freeze and frost. We usually do FGT's at end of season with those that refuse to ripen before fall frost. Whilst sipping my morning coffee I began to ponder. Why not Fry some early green tomatoes? So I googled and found this article. It's perfectly acceptable to fry early season green tomatoes. If I knew that I'd forgotten.

One of our favorites. Don't mess with the fancy recipes. Just egg wash and crushed soda crackers. Delicious!

I have seen Fried Green Tomato BLTs on a few restaurant menus and want to try one one of these days!

Love em here.
My wife always begged (and usually won) for them in the early season but I was determined to ripen em for salsa, etc.
Buckets of em in the late fall. That's the season.

I love fried green tomatoes!
At the end of the season, I slice and can the green ones for frying over the rest of the year, or until I grow more. :laugh:

We eat fried green tomatoes all summer. But we always use diced green tomatoes and put in with frying Okra.

I must comment.NEVER,NEVER,EVER pull a green tomato until you have harvested at least 12 red,vine ripened tomatos.Once the required dozen ripe tomatoes have been harvested,then and only then is it proper protocol to pull green tomato’s for frying.That is just our rule around here.Does not matter how many plants you plant and grow the numbers do not change.We normally pull and can when threat of frost is in the forecast but pull a few throughout the growing season just for fun.Fried Pink tomatoes are good too.1/2 ripe but still firm.

Interesting.I fry okra pods whole.Steam them for a minute or two then toss in fish fry meal.I never thought of tossing in some green maters with them.Thanks for the tip!

I wouldn't change a thing, mama and all. But am curious about the change in beer. Is it dark? Does it pair well?
