Fried Green Tomatoes
The tomatoes in our garden are still green with a few starting to turn red. Now is the time to make a piping hot batch of fried green tomatoes. Enjoy this with any dipping sauce you like. I prefer ranch dressing.
INGREDIENTS
Oil
4 green tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch rings (or thinner if you like)
Kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon garlic powder
4 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Pinch of paprika
In a deep-fryer, preheat oil to 350 degrees F.
Season tomatoes, on both sides, with salt and pepper. Place flour and garlic powder in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, beat eggs with the milk. In another dish, mix bread crumbs with cayenne and paprika. Dredge tomatoes through the flour, then the eggs, and then through the bread crumbs. Add only a few pieces to the fryer at a time, so they can cook evenly, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels and enjoy.

I just dredge them in flour with a little salt and pepper and lightly fry them - the batter method doesn't work for me because i like them sliced really thinly, and a light coat of flour keeps the tomato taste from being compromised. we've been eating them this way since I was a tot, it was quite the occasion at our house, we'd crowd around mom at the electric skillet and take turns eating the slices as they finished cooking - they rarely, if ever, made it to the table.
