Generally cutting, breading, and immediatley frying leads to soggy, greasy bad renditions. I have to say your picture looks like they were done by a professional southerner! I have to say - I have had much more luck with them if you let them sit on paper towels for a little after being cut and salted - to drain extra water. However - you got the most important point - the grease being the right temperature. My husband doesn't like tomatos - but LOVES these! Its also great to try them with a little cayenne pepper for some heat and blue cheese dipping sauce is also great! MMMMM - there are few things in this world as good as a hot, salty, tangy, spicy fried green tomato that is dipped into cool, creamy, sharp sauce.... better than McDonalds fries!

I want them so badly!! The only time I have had fried green tomatoes is once when a roommate and I made them years ago ... I don't remember them being fabulous but I also don't know if we had any idea what we are doing. I would love to try them at a GOOD place to see what they are SUPPOSED to taste like.

Then, after my fourth ex-husband moved me to Clearwater, Florida, and then divorced me (by email, if you believe it), I have learned a LOT about southern food.

I have learned that fried green tomatoes, fried catfish, grits, and lots of other stuff are really tasty.

Since I hooked up with my current boyfriend “BigBear” at a rock concert, he let me move into his trailer house (which also serves as a tattoo parlor).

We now enjoy fried green tomatoes at least once a week. But your recipe is much better than my old one.

Thanks for sharing.
