Fried Green Tomatoes
Recipe courtesy Tyler Florence

Ingredients
1 cup stone-ground cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon garlic powder
Pinch cayenne
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 large unripe tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices, ends removed
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Hot pepper sauce, for serving
Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, garlic powder, and cayenne
together. Pour the buttermilk into a separate bowl and season with salt and pepper. Dip the tomatoes

in the buttermilk and then dredge them in the cornmeal mixture, coating both sides well.

Place a large cast iron skillet over medium heat and coat with the oil. When the oil is hot, pan-fry
the tomatoes (in batches if necessary) until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3 to 4
minutes on each side. Carefully remove the tomatoes and drain on paper towels. Serve with hot pepper
sauce and lemon.
