Fried Green Tomatoes Plus Fried Pickles

[ssv3]

It's been cold here lately and my better boy tomatoes haven't been ripening

Perfect timing to make fried green tomatoes since I've never had them or made them

Sliced them 1/4" thick and sliced some homemade pickles to fry while at it

A light coat of S&P

Dipped in egg wash and then Slap Yo Mama Fish Fry

Into the CI pan

Same deal with the pickles

Onto the cooling rack

Served with some ranch dressing

God, I've been missing out. Simply amazing!

Thanks for looking!

You know Sako I think you're a really nice guy and all but that's just cruel!

lol Two of my favorite things!!! Outstanding Neighbor!
Can't believe you have tomatoes, that's great! I "can" green tomatoes for frying during the winter. They're not the same as fresh but they do.
I have garden fever this week, you've just kicked it up a notch. :mrgreen:
Very nice, Sako! :thumb:

Sorry about the cruel and shaming part guys. Just some of the perks of living on the left coast. :becky:

Thanks fellas!

Thanks Jeanie!!

We usually have warmer winters but this year has been pretty cold and they just weren't ripening anymore. Then it popped into my head to make fried green tomatoes since I've never had or made them. Oh my!! I had company they all loved it.

Btw, they even survived the damaging winds that blow off roofs out here in the SoCal foothills. You can sort of see the damage in the first pic.

If you like them the next step is a BLT

Im sure you have a banana tree, right?

Looks great Sako!

Trying to eat healthier and now you got me thinking about frying some catfish and green tomatoes.

Nice Sako, I never had either but I now want both

The only reason I grow tomatoes is to have green ones ready for frying! Teleking has the right idea, nothing better than a BLFGT sammie. :biggrin:

I like my 'maters cut thinner and dusted in flour as a change up sometimes. Give it a whirl and report back...

Your food looks pretty fine from here.
I keep reading about green Fried Tomatoes.
Can any sort be used?

We love us some fried green maters here too. Thank you for doing them the right way with cornmeal. So incredibly delicious. Those pickles look especially scrumptious too.

 

[Smoke Dawg]

Looks great neighbor
Some times the simple things are so good. Your knocking off things your never cooked regular!

I love some fried green tomatoes, we do ours in Italian bread crumbs, topped with goat cheese and a mango habanero chutney! So incredibly good! I see you also have the Duchess as well! One of my favorites.

Thanks Titch!

Honestly this was my first time doing this but seems like the beefier tomatoes work best. Give it a try. It was delicious.
