Summer Classic goes Southern
Since we live in GA fried green tomatoes are part of our food heritage. It may surprise you but they taste a good bit like fried squash/zucchini but with just a little more zip. Give them a try as a side dish or with a BLT.
3 TB canola oil
1/2 cup hush puppy mix
1 egg beaten
1 large green tomato
Mayonnaise - ( I like to chop a little fresh basil and stir in with it)
4 slices of cooked crisp bacon
green leaf lettuce
focaccia bread or any other you like for sandwiches
salt and pepper to taste
Pick a full grown green tomato that is just about to start turning red. Wash and slice about 1/4 in. thick. Dip the tomato in the egg and then coat with the hush puppy mix. Fry in oil on medium heat until brown and soft. (about as soft as a good ripe tomato would be)
Assemble your BLT, grab a glass of sweet tea and enjoy!
