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.

DeleteYou do want to use green tomatoes, but you want to use ones that are firm but not rock hard. I am one that swears by them. lol
DeleteI have never had any. Is there a proper recipe of it this a generic dish?
