I've never had them but now that I've seen a picture I'm intrigued. This week I'll have three eggs left over that must be used. I'm assuming roma tomatoes would be best for their firmness and size?
I love them. I use flour, egg wash and breadcrumbs or panko. Add whatever spices you like in the flour. I usually use S&P and paprika. I've never used roma tomatoes but I think they would work.
I tried to make them after watching the movie Fried Green Tomatoes. The movie was wonderful, my tomatoes not so much. Will have to give them another go!
That's funny, I had exactly the same experience. My guess is that if you're growing tomatoes, and you get to the end of the season where you wind up with a few green ones that will never ripen, this is a way to eat them. But others swear by them.
You should try them. I slice a firm but not rock hard green tomato. Coat with flour, then egg, then panko or breadcrumbs. Sprinkle on paprika, salt and pepper and then fry. Delicious.
YUMMMMMMMMM! I think tomorrow I may do that again. A summertime favorite!!!!!
ReplyDeleteA summertime favorite for sure!!
DeleteI’ve only had them a few times in my life. They are not popular around here.
ReplyDeleteThey are popular here in the lower Midwest and in the South. I love them but only indulge once or twice a year.
DeleteI've only had them once on a visit to Savannah Georgia and YES I really liked them...
ReplyDeleteThey are delicious. Savannah is one of my favorite places.

DeleteI have never had any. Is there a proper recipe of it this a generic dish?
