FRIED GREEN TOMATOES

INGREDIENTS:

2-3 big fat green tomatoes, cut into 1/4" slices

kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

3/4 cup flour

1 tbls garlic powder

4 eggs

2 tbls milk

1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs

pinch of cayenne pepper

pinch of paprika

3 shallow dishes for your assembly line

canola or vegetable oil for frying

{enough to fill your pan about 1/2"-1" high}

DIRECTIONS:

1. cut your tomatoes, kosher salt and pepper them,

and discard the end pieces. heat your oil in a pan on the stove for about 5 minutes at medium heat. 

{i did my first batch medium high and it burned them. 

my second batch at medium heat was perfect.}

2. flour and garlic powder into 1 small shallow dish.

3. eggs and milk into 1 small shallow dish, 

whisk together with a fork.

4. panko bread crumbs, cayenne pepper, 

and paprika in another shallow dish.

5. coat in the flour mixture, dredge/sink into the egg/milk mixture making sure all of the flour is covered with the egg/milk mixture, then coat with the panko bread crumbs mixture. 

do 4-5 slices at a time.

{i stacked mine on top of each other off to the side of the bread crumb bowl 

so they could all go into the frier at the same time.}

6. place 4-5 slices into your pan of oil. 

turn when golden brown. cool on paper towel.

7. repeat with second and/or third batches.

8. serve warm with ranch bbq sauce, 

or whatever dip you fancy with your fried foods.

{i used byu creamery ranch with a few squirts of our homemade bbq sauce, 

but just use what you have. it will be awesome!}
