What could be more southern than an all-over crunchy firm tomato that’s been battered into a deep-fried delicacy? Right! Well, according Robert F. Moss, a food historian and writer in South Carolina, “they entered the American culinary scene in the Northeast and Midwest, perhaps with a link to Jewish immigrants, and from there moved onto the menu of the home-economics school of cooking teachers who flourished in the United States in the early-to-mid 20th century.” Who would have thought!! No matter where they originated, I've been loving them all my life! Hope you enjoy too!

How To Make fried green tomatoes
-
1Slice the tomatoes about a 1/4-inch thick. Spread them out on a plate or baking dish and sprinkle with salt. Place the tomato slices in a colander and allow time for salt to pull the liquids out of the tomatoes, about 30 minutes. -
2Heat the oil over a medium-high heat in a large skillet.
-
3Dip sliced tomatoes in buttermilk, and then dredge them in flour seasoned with pepper. Turn over in flour several times, pressing gently to get a nice thick batter. Fry until golden brown. NOTE: Don't crowd the tomatoes, fry a few at a time.
