    Chef shapeweaver ©'s Note:

    Since I'm from Tennessee and since I love green tomatoes that's how the recipe got it's name. If you want to change the amounts of the seasonings, go right ahead. When turning over, use a pancake turner so coating won't come off. Submitted to "ZAAR" on August 5th, 2007.

      This was a great way to fry the tomatoes...breading twice is what really does the trick. I also loved the marinating in the milk for the first wash, and then adding the egg so as not to make another bowl dirty or waste more than necessary. I added hot sauce right before I mixed in the egg for an extra kick and also added garlic powder and salt to the breading mix. (but I also used AP flour instead of self-rising) And don't forget to salt them after you fry!

      I had never tried Fried Green Tomatoes before, and I usually do not have good luck with breading and frying anything. But I had a few green roma tomatoes that had fallen off the vine, so I thought I would give it a try. Since I'm from Indiana, and Tennessee is so close, I thought I would try my "neighbor's" recipe. Wow! It was fantastic and worked perfectly. I think the double coating really did the trick. I sliced the Romas lengthwise and they were smaller pieces than probably the regular tomatoes, but a tasty treat. I can't wait for more green tomatoes to make more. Thanks for sharing!
