Ingredients

Oil
4 green tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch rings
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon garlic powder
4 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs
Pinch cayenne pepper
Pinch paprika
Buttermilk Dipping Sauce, recipe follows

Directions

In a deep-fryer, preheat oil to 350 degrees F.

Season tomatoes, on both sides, with salt and pepper. Place flour and garlic powder in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, beat eggs with the milk. In another dish, mix bread crumbs with cayenne and paprika. Dredge tomatoes through the flour, then the eggs, and then through the bread crumbs. Add only a few pieces to the fryer at a time, so they can cook evenly, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve with Buttermilk Dipping Sauce:

Buttermilk Dipping Sauce:

1 cup apple cider
1 tablespoon brown sugar
3/4 cup buttermilk
3/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Neelys BBQ sauce
1 lime, juiced
4 scallions, sliced thin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the apple cider and brown sugar. Allow to reduce until thick and syrupy. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

In a medium bowl, add buttermilk, mayonnaise, BBQ sauce and lime juice and whisk well. Add in the scallions and the apple cider mixture. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve with Fried Green Tomatoes.

Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

With a frost warning on the docket last night, the kids picked the rest of the tomatoes, that weren't rotten. They were all... green. They went and looked for a recipe for fried green tomatoes and found this one. We all loved it and will definitely make this again! I live in Wisconsin, so fried green tomatoes aren't something we see very often up here.Read more

Never had these, before I made them!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've been curious about fried green tomatoes for years. One rainy day, my daughter and I watched Gina Neely make them. I... figured, living up north, I'd never see green tomatoes for sale. Well, there were some at the Farmer's Market. I bought a few and tried this recipe. It was easy to do, and they were delicious. I made them twice. Once with plain bread crumbs, the second time, with panko. I liked the rougher panko texture better. My family said the fried green tomatoes were delicious as is, and didn't want the dip. I will keep buying the green tomatoes and making this recipe as long as the tomatoes are available.Read more

These were the best, my husband loved them. I cannot wait to make these again. I did something wrong on the buttermilk dip so... I will try to make that again but the tomatoes were delicious without the dip. I love watching your show it is so nice to see a couple that enjoy each other and enjoy cooking together. Keep up the good work. Shawna Manor, TxRead more
