I ate fried green tomates as a kid and loved them. Tyler's recipe is great. I cook bacon first and use half bacon grease and half olive oil to fry mine.




what's the butter for?

This is a good traditional recipe. I wonder why the butter. There are no instructions for the 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter.




First time making this--easy and tastey!

My Mother-in-law picked a bunch of green tomatoes, so it gave me the idea to try fried green tomatoes for the first time. This recipe was exactly what I was expecting, but didn't expect just how good they were going to be! It makes ALOT, so be prepared to eat alot, or feed alot of people, they weren't so great reheated, but delicous fresh.

I have had these at resturants and really like them so I thought I would give it a try. The cornmeal was gritty and the whole thing didn't have a lot of flavor. My guests liked them though.




They're terrific!

Have made them several times and each time had to double the amount of tomatoes I made. My family could not get enough. The only change I made was to add 1 tsp. of Seasoned Salt to the dry ingredients.




Crowd Pleaser!

Not only was this an easy recipe, but my friends were eating them faster than I could cook them. I liked them plain, but the crowd loved them with the tobasco and lemon.




Good

The only thing that I would change would be to add more spices. But as is the tomatoes are great, espically when made with green heirloom tomatoes.




Best recipe yet

I've tried making fried green tomatoes several times before and always ended up throwing most of the dish out. This is the best recipe I've found for them yet. I'm not sure I'm destined to become a huge fan of fried green tomatoes, but this recipe is worth trying. I'll make them again next year.




It's not easy being green!

What else other than pickling and frying can one do with green tomatoes? Frying was the only alternative for us. It gets 4 stars just b/c they were eaten and not wasted, but they didn't knock my socks off. Had them along w/our eggs for breakfast. They were tasty that way, altho' the coating didn't fully adhere to it, and I had to keep adding more oil to the pan b/c it kept disappearing. You DO need 1/2 cup of oil for frying, maybe more. I felt that adding the salt and pepper to the liquid ingredients lost its effect. I'd add it to the dry instead. We had to add salt at the plate b/c they tasted bland w/o adding more at the end.

Where does the butter come in?

Great receipt, but it's calls for 1 tablespoon of butter and in the direction it does not show where to add the butter.




Terrific!

This was my first attempt at Fried Green Tomatoes. They turned out very tasty and the easy breading had a great flavor. My only trouble was that they turned out soggy, maybe next time I will try to remove some of the seeds.




Awesome

This is the best recipe! My father made the best Fried Green Tomatoes until I tried Tyler's recipe. It is awesome and the Hot Sauce is an essential!!!

Not as good as grandma's but that may only because my memory tends to remember things better than they were. When I went outside this morning and saw all those green huge beefsteak tomatoes in my back yard I could not think of what to do with them. Then I found this recipe...a perfect fit! Rave reviews from everyone at the table.
