My husband and I came up with this recipe after collecting a lot of produce from our home garden.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

These fried green tomatoes are heavenly and perfect for summertime. Grilling the tomatoes first cooks them a bit before frying and infuses a smoky flavor. With a nice crunch, it also means they don't have to fry as long to achieve a perfect golden brown. The slightly spicy fresh salsa on top is the perfect accompaniment.

How To Make smoky fried green tomatoes with fresh garden salsa

1
Slice green tomatoes. Rub olive oil, salt, and pepper on the tomatoes before placing them on the grill.

2
Place on a hot, smoky grill. Grill for 3 minutes per side. Cool for 5-10 minutes.
3
Take grilled tomatoes and dip in egg wash and cornmeal twice.
4
Since tomatoes are already cooked fry slices in medium hot oil until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towel.
5
Prepare the fresh salsa by combining all ingredients in a bowl.

Place 2 slices on a serving plate. Top with a spoonful of sour cream and fresh salsa on top. Garnish with additional cilantro (optional).
