Easy Fried Green Tomatoes Tips
How do you store easy fried green tomatoes?
We recommend eating fried green tomatoes immediately after frying, as that’s when they are going to be the absolute best. However, if you do have some extras, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
How can you make the breading stick to the tomatoes better?
Make sure to blot the tomato slices with paper towels before salting and breading to get rid of excess moisture, which will help the cornmeal stick better.
What else can you use to bread the green tomatoes?
You can also use panko bread crumbs if you don’t have cornmeal. Just dip the tomato slices in buttermilk before coating them in the panko bread crumbs to help them adhere better.
What can you eat with these easy fried green tomatoes?
The best dipping sauce and iconic pairing for fried green tomatoes is
remoulade. Some other great pairings with this classic Southern recipe are
cheesy grits, eggs Benedict (replace the English muffin with the fried green tomatoes) or fried seafood dishes like
crab cakes, catfish or popcorn shrimp.
