Cornmeal-Crusted Fried Green Tomatoes
Ingredients
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 Tbsp onion powder
1/2 Tbsp garlic powder
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 pinch salt and pepper
4 large green organic or locally grown tomatoes (such as beefsteak, big boy, or celebrity)
1 cup organic or local buttermilk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
Directions
In a medium bowl, mix together the cornmeal, flour, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Pour the buttermilk into a separate bowl.
Slice the tomatoes to a ½ inch thickness. First dip each tomato in the buttermilk and then dredge in the cornmeal mixture.
Heat the oil in a heavy-duty skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium heat. Fry the tomatoes about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve with remoulade.
