My grandmother's fried green tomatoes were famous in our community. The recipe is so simple, but the results are delicious! Ingredients:
4 firm green tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch slices |
1 quart ice water, or as needed |
1 cup canola oil, or as needed |
2 cups self-rising cornmeal |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
salt to taste |
Directions:
1. Place tomato slices in a bowl of ice water; soak for about 5 minutes.
2. Heat about 1/2 inch of canola oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
3. Combine cornmeal and flour in a bowl.
4. Remove tomato slices from ice water, one at at time, and coat lightly in the cornmeal mixture; shake off any excess. Place in the hot oil.
5. Cook tomato slices, working in batches, until edges are golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle lightly with salt.
