Olive and Peach

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.
