CHEF JOHN'S FRIED GREEN TOMATOES

Steps:

• Place tomato slices onto a rack over a paper towel. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and let slices stand for 15 minutes for the salt to draw out extra juices.
• Mix cornmeal and bread crumbs together in a bowl; stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste. Beat eggs with milk in a separate bowl. Place flour into a third bowl.
• Pat tomato slices dry with paper towels. Lay slices, one at a time, into flour; flip to coat both sides and let slices rest in the flour for about 30 seconds. Remove each slice and dip in egg mixture, then into cornmeal mixture, coating both sides of each slice thoroughly. Spread crumbs onto all sides and into tomato crevices with a fork. Rest tomatoes on rack for 10 minutes to let coating set.
• Combine sweet pickle relish, mayonnaise, and hot sauce in a small bowl to make the remoulade sauce.
• Place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat; heat vegetable oil with butter until butter melts, bubbles, and makes a sizzling sound. Fry tomatoes in the hot butter-oil mixture until tomato slices are slightly soft and coating is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Use a spatula and a fork to flip.
• Transfer fried green tomatoes to a serving platter and serve with remoulade sauce.

• In a large skillet, pour vegetable oil (enough so that there is 1/2 inch of oil in the pan) and heat over a medium heat. Place tomatoes into the frying pan in batches of 4 or 5, depending on the size of your skillet. Do not crowd the tomatoes, they should not touch each other. When the tomatoes are browned, flip and fry them on the other side. Drain them on paper towels.

Put 1 1/2 cups panko in a third dish. Dredge each tomato slice in the flour, then egg, then panko. Fry in 1/2 inch 350 degrees F vegetable oil, turning, until golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve with ranch dressing.

FRIED GREEN TOMATOES

Steps:

• For the fried green tomatoes: Pour the vegetable oil into a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot and attach a deep-frying thermometer. Heat the oil over medium heat to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and top with a cooling rack.
• Set up 3 low-sided dishes to make a breading station: To the first dish, add the flour, salt and black pepper and stir to combine. In the second dish, beat the buttermilk with the eggs. In the third dish, stir together the cornmeal and panko.
• Using one hand, dredge both sides of the tomato slices in the seasoned flour, shaking each piece to remove any excess. Next, using the other hand, dip the tomato slices into the egg mixture, allowing it to drip before moving onto the third dish. Using your first hand, coat the tomato slices in the breadcrumb mixture evenly on both sides.
• Working in batches, carefully place the breaded tomatoes into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer to the cooling rack and sprinkle each slice generously with more salt.
• For the dipping sauce: Put the mayonnaise in a bowl, add the hot peppers and pepper juice, paprika, sugar and salt and stir to combine. Serve the fried tomatoes immediately with the dipping sauce on the side.

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 serve with Buttermilk Dipping Sauce:
