KAREN'S FRIED GREEN TOMATOES

Steps:

• Season each tomato slice with sugar, salt, and pepper.
• Beat milk and eggs together in a bowl. Pour flour into another bowl.
• Gently press each tomato slice into flour to coat; shake off the excess flour. Dip tomato slices into egg mixture, then press again into flour. Place breaded tomato slices onto a plate while breading the rest; do not stack.
• Melt 1/2 cup butter in a large pan over medium heat. Place tomato slices in melted butter and cook until golden brown on one side, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until golden brown. Add more butter as need while frying.

FRIED GREEN TOMATOES

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, salt, pepper, and buttermilk. Use a fork to mix the ingredients into a pancake-like batter. Use more buttermilk to thin the batter, if needed.
• Heat 2 inches of oil in a skillet until hot enough to fry. Dip tomato slices in batter, letting the excess batter drip back into the bowl. Put the dipped slices immediately into the frying pan. The oil should sizzle strongly but not pop when the tomatoes hit the oil-- if the oil pops or splatters, it's too hot. Let it cool down a bit before proceeding.
• Fry the tomato slices in batches of 4 or 5 at a time (don't crowd the pan) for 2-3 minutes per side, turning carefully with tongs when the coating turns golden brown.Transfer to a colander or wire cooling rack to drain. To keep the tomatoes from getting soggy before they're served, Fannie suggest standing them up like wheels in the serving dish instead of stacking them.
• To make the sauce, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, and cayenne in a bowl. Taste and season more, if needed. Serve sauce over the fresh fried green tomatoes.Fried green tomatoes are best eaten fresh out of the frying pan, they will become soggy fast if you don't enjoy them within a few minutes of frying.

SOUTHERN FRIED GREEN TOMATOES RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large shallow bowl combine flour and spices. Whisk or stir to combine and set aside.
• .Use a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife and cutting board to slice each tomato into 1/4 inch pieces (no larger). Lay the sliced green tomatoes out on a large cookie sheet or plate and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Next dredge each slice in the flour mixture until coated shaking off the excess. Return to the cookie sheet and let sit for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes the tomatoes will begin to soak up some of the flour mixture. Once this happens dredge the tomatoes through the flour mixture a second time shaking off the excess.
• Add vegetable oil to a large deep skillet and heat over medium heat. You want the oil about an inch deep. Once the oil is shimmering, add your green tomatoes in and fry for 3-5 minutes per side until they are brown and crispy.
• Once golden brown remove from the oil and place on a paper towel lined plate and continue to fry in batches until all the tomatoes are fried. Serve warm with hot mayo sauce.

FRIED GREEN TOMATOES

Steps:

• Wash and slice your tomatoes into thick slices, not less than 1/4-inch, not more than 1/2-inch.
• Heat plenty of lard or vegetable oil over medium heat in your favorite thick-bottomed skillet.
• In the meantime, set flour aside in a small bowl or plate. Whisk eggs in another, and use the third plate for cornmeal.
• Dip the tomato slices first in flour, then the egg mixture, lastly in the cornmeal. Make sure the last layer is nice and thick for a spectacular crunch.
• Once the lard/oil is hot, place the coated tomatoes one by one into the hot fat and fry until they are golden brown. If they cook too fast, they will be crunchy inside and out. So, don't rush. Cook them slowly enough, about 3 minutes on the first side, before flipping.
• When done frying, place them on a wire rack to chill.

• Dip tomatoes slices into egg and milk mixture and then coat with flour and seasoning mixture.
• Place in a hot skillet with oil and fry for about 3 minutes on both sides or until browned.
• I usually place them back on the cooling rack so they don't get soggy when they are finished.
• Serve immediately!

In a separate baking dish, beat the egg, buttermilk, baking powder and baking soda. In a separate large shallow dish, add the remaining 3/4 cup flour, cornmeal, salt and cayenne pepper. Dredge the tomatoes in the flour, followed by the egg mixture and finally coat with the cornmeal mixture, shaking off any excess in between dredges. Place the tomatoes on a wire cooling rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat the process with all the tomatoes. Pour a 1-inch layer of vegetable oil into a cast-iron skillet. Heat the oil over high heat until it reaches 350 degrees F. Carefully add 4 tomato slices to the oil and fry until the tomatoes are golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side. Transfer the fried tomatoes to a baking sheet or plate lined with paper towels, season with salt and cool. Repeat with the remaining slices. To assemble the sandwich: Slather each slice of bread with a generous amount of the basil mayo. Top 4 of the bread slices with 4 pieces of crispy pancetta, 2 fried green tomatoes and top with arugula. Finish by topping the sandwich off with the other slice of bread.;
