How to make fried green tomatoes

By Debbiedoo's Team Published: Aug 13, 2011 · Modified: Oct 21, 2021

Fried green tomatoes.  
Never ate one in my life until we moved to the South!
Today I am sharing a secret family Southern recipe with you.
My  friend Laurian, whom I have talked about before 
is one fabulous cook!
I say Paula Deen has nothing on her.
 Move over Paula Deen
 
 
Laurian often wants to teach me some of her recipes, however, I decline! 
You know why?
 Some things are best left  up to the experts!
 
She did make me a cook book though and with her permission, I am sharing.
If you are a Southerner, or a wanttobe Southerner, this recipe is for you!
 
Heck I am A Northerner transplanted to the South and I LOVE it.  
Those Southern folks sure know how to cook and have taught me a thing or two.
 
Let me share with you just a light meal she whipped up for us last night.
And then the recipe at the end.
 
 
Fried green tomatoes
 
I just love the vibrant green of these tomatoes!

I believe this is flour and seasoned cornmeal! oh wait there is more to it.
 
 
Very light on the oil as you can see…NOT!
of course a very old cast iron pan a must.
 This puppy was HOT HOT HOT.
Notice I use a lot of exclamation points in this post.
it’s because I am full of enthusiasm, not anger, trust me:)

The evening could not have been better.
