Ingredients

3 or 4 large firm green tomatoes
Salt
2 cups vegetable or peanut oil, for deep-frying
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups self-rising flour
Freshly ground black pepper

Vidalia Onion Relish:

2 white onions, diced
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons chopped chives

Directions

Slice the tomatoes 1/4-inch thick. Lay them out in a shallow baking pan and sprinkle with salt. Place the tomato slices in a colander and allow time for salt to pull the water out of the tomatoes, approximately 30 minutes.

In a skillet, heat the oil for deep-frying over medium-high heat.

Dip the tomatoes into buttermilk, then dredge them into flour with a dash of pepper. Deep-fry until golden brown. Keep warm.

For the Vidalia Onion Relish:

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate for a few hours.

I can't believe I've been making fried green tomatoes for years without Vidalia Onion Relish!! It's the perfect accompaniment and just makes the tomatoes sing. I will never fry a tomato again with out placing this relish on top. Sooooo yummy. Thanks Paula!

Paula, I tried the salt on the tomatoes before battering them, the water really came out, I was really surprised. But when they were done ready to eat, they were so salty, we couldn't eat them. I rinsed them off before battering them, but it didnt help. Any suggestions on what went wrong.
