Hi Dorothy:-) I tried this recipe from David, VA that was posted here at recipelink. I think I used half flour and half cornmeal for dusting the tomato slices but otherwise, I followed the recipe as written. The tomatoes were very, very good. Yum:-)!!
I love good southern cooking and have a really "Tried & True" recipe that my mom made, and my grandmother made, and I make, every summer!
GOURMET FRIED GREEN TOMATOES
By: David Dick
Barboursville, Virginia
Gourmet Fried Green Tomatoes
3 lbs. Green Tomatoes
2 eggs, beaten well
1 cup of corn meal
5 slices of bacon
1/2 cup of cream
salt
pepper
Green Onions
First, you fry the bacon up in a cast iron skillet till it's nice and crispy. Take it out and set it aside for a spell, and then you crunch it up. Leave the bacon drippings in the pan.
You then take your green tomatoes and slice them about 1/4 inch thick and you dip them into your beaten egg, and then dredge them through your corn meal that has been salt and peppered. You put those slices into the hot bacon fat to fry, cook until brown, then turn over, and let it brown on the other side. Then you pull em out. Place those tomato slices on a hot plate.
Take your cream and deglaze the pan drippings, let it kind of cook and bubble for a bit and get it kind of thick, and then, at the last minute, your toss in those sliced green onions. Then, sprinkle those bacon crumbles over top your plate of friend green tomatoes, then take your cream/onion sauce, and pour it over the dish.
UMMMMM, Good, oh lordy, this is the stuff the southern angels eat in heaven! This is so delicious that you will find yourself making it every time you go to those roadside stands and see those lucious green tomatoes just waitin to be bought home and fixed proper.
