I love Fried Green Tomatoes and every time I see them on a menu I order them because I’ve never made them at home. Well, I finally got up the courage to make them at home and I’m happy I did. Personally, I find frying time-consuming and it makes a huge mess. The mess is the part I hate. But, I didn’t have that with these tomatoes.
Green tomatoes are basically regular tomatoes that aren’t ripe yet. They are firm so that’s why you can fry them but can’t fry regular red tomatoes. Green tomatoes are hard to find at the grocery store so I’ll warn you that you may not be able to just pick them up any old time. When I do see them it’s usually only in the spring so I grabbed some when I saw them in the local produce section at the Harris Teeter down the street.
Follow along with me as I show you how easy it is to make Fried Green Tomatoes.
