A twist on Southern Fried Green Tomatoes. Grandma's secret ingredient. It was Grandma's recipe - that's all I needed to know. Don't know why she did it that way - probably because her Grandma did it that way. Ingredients:
3 -4 green tomatoes |
2 -3 eggs (i like the big.brown ones fresh out of the nest) |
1/4 cup milk |
salt and pepper |
1 pinch nutmeg (fresh grated is best) |
lard (i use vegetable oil now to please my doctor.) or bacon fat (i use vegetable oil now to please my doctor.) |
Directions:
1. Slice tomatoes about 1/2 thick.
2. Beat eggs and milk together.
3. Mix flour, salt, pepper and nutmeg together.
4. Dip tomatoe slices in egg mixture (shake excess back into bowl so the mixture won't drip in flour mixture), then dip in flour mixture.
5. Lay on plate, then double dip each slice when you have dipped all the slices for the first time.
6. Let the slices sit for a minute or two until oil is hot.
7. Fry a single layer in grease until browned on one side, then turn over and brown on that side.
8. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
