Love this video. My mama taught me to cube the green tomatoes, cube a Vidalia onion, but to slice a yellow squash. Toss in a bowl firstly with salt and pepper and then with about 1/4 cup cornmeal. You can add a Tablesppon of flour, if desired. This is a WINNING combination. Fry it just as you did. We have this all summer long. Hope y'all try it!

[@davidbetsey2437]

You should season the tomatoes &/or the coating, but not the oil. You will kill somebody w/all that salt😵

[@TheSheltiegirl]

Oh my goodness love love love it lolol

[@SalLeeHolland]

@@davidbetsey2437 I could never add that much salt.

[@susanb.1856]

As a Southern lady, If you mix corn meal in the flour, equal parts, the tomatoes will be nice & crispy. Yummy.

[@comesitatmytable9044]

Thank you so much for watching and for your comment. We appreciate it

[@lindaruckman677]

Yes! Indeed Southerners Love Fried and Fresh Green Tomatoes and We also Love a Tomato , Mayo S&P SANDWICHES!! THAT SANDWICH IS ALL I NEED AT TIMES YUMMY😊

[@chrishoward450]

I love fried green tomatoes. I could eat 3 or 4 by myself.

[@KenG557]

I prefer fried green tomatoes that have just begun to turn red. They have a richer, more tangy flavor. Fried Green tomatoes are my very favorite fresh garden food.

[@pacluv]

I LOVE FRIED GREEN TOMATOES 🍅😋😋😋😋😋😋😋 you’re making me so hungry 🤤 just watching this now.

[@pamelaking9715]

I love a good fried green tomato! Yours look amazing! My Memaw and Mama made (not sure what it is called, we just referred to it as a fried vegetable medley. You cube potatoes, diced onion, green tomatoes, zucchini or yellow squash, as close to same size as possible. Start with potatoes first then add other veggies in. Fry slow until vegetables are tender but not mushy. Season with salt & pepper and just before we it finishes frying sprinkle with cornmeal. It is fresh and delicious! Ive read that it was just named "all" ? Anyway, of course best fried in bacon grease 😊

[@pamelaking9715]

😅 I forgot okra is added as well!! ( in the fried vegetable medley)

[@rogergoodland3140]

Bacon grease made EVERYTHING better!! Yum!

[@kristawhitaker3162]

Loved this video. I have always fried mine in corn meal and often bacon grease. I have green tomatoes sitting on my counter now and will give this method a try!

[@comesitatmytable9044]

Thanks, Krista. Hope you like them this way. We really appreciate that you've watched our videos. Hope you're enjoying the summer.

[@meatyhotpockets]

Exactly.

[@jenjoy3215]

I totally get your preference of tomatoes that have NOT begun to ripen even slightly. They taste difference to me too! I had a huge garden back in the day and canned. We never fixed friend green tomatoes until the end of season when the heat was gone but still had green tomatoes in the vine. Those were the very best for frying. We also had a great pickling recipe for green tomatoes.

[@samirjafri191]

Grew up loving pickled green tomatoes. Still do. 🎉😊

[@dianalester1351]

Love that you and Melissa converse during cooking.

[@Linda-eb3kn]

I put onion powder and sometimes garlic powder on mine. Every body loves them. Also, add a tablespoon of corn meal in mine. Love your show.

[@elizabethbaldwin8488]

Cornmeal n flour for me and cut in wedges. This is how a restaurant did it. Loved it. With a dipping dressing that was creamy/spicey. Yum

[@comesitatmytable9044]

We love fried green tomatoes! So glad to hear about your experience with them that you enjoyed so much. Hope you're having a great night. Thanks so much for watching our channel.

[@sueperry6776]

Tom if you will slice your tomatoes and pIace them on a cookie sheet... salt them and let them sit for a while it pulls some of the liquid from the tomatoes. Then do your breading They fry much better. And the salt soaks in the tomatoe instead of outside the tomatoe.

[@comesitatmytable9044]

Interesting tip! Thanks so much for sharing that with us all. We really appreciate that you've watched our video.

[@elaineb3215]

The first time I tried frying green tomatoes the flour wouldn't stick to them. I was wondering what I did wrong and now I realized that I missed a step which was dipping them in the beaten eggs first. Thank you again for this recipe. You're always cooking something I like.

[@MaryLWilks]

I just stumbled onto your videos and I just love your recipes and the cooking.❤

I am out west and tried my first fried green tomatoe about 5 yrs ago. I did not know what i had been missing! I now search out green tomatoes and do it just like you are ❤

[@samanthaknudson3084]

Yeah, we southerners take credit for these originally. 😊 However, the first time I had them was at Tamarack, the Arts and Crafts Center in WV. Our favorite fried green tomato restaurant closed, so I'm looking forward to making mine! We like ours with a spicy mustard sauce (Just mustard, tabasco, sour cream, and mayo). I hope you try it and like it! Thanks!

[@cjcj6945]

Them are some good lookin' Fried Green Mater's!👍🤠

[@susanrobinson408]

Funny how everyone does green tomatoes differently. In our area, (Indiana), we just use self-rising flour, salt, and pepper...no egg, no cornmeal. And I agree with your friend. I have to have a little bit of red on mine. All green tastes too 'green' to me! These look perfect. Now you are making my mouth water. I've only had one mess so far this year. These look so good!! A restaurant in our area serves that fried green tomato BLT. It is so tasty! I like mine on white Wonder Bread with butter and salt!

[@comesitatmytable9044]

Absolutely, it's a matter of personal preference about what type of tomatoes to use. I will say that I have enjoyed a fried green tomato BLT sandwich before. Those are fabulous!

[@carolineodle8381]

[@NancyRemling]

My Kentucky momma dredged those green tomatoes in corn meal and fried them in bacon grease. Best I’ve ever had to this day. 🌺🌺🌺

[@SalLeeHolland]

I have eaten these since I was a kid (in my mid 70's now). Love them. It use to be you liked them or you didn't. However, since the Covid thing came out many people were trying to cook at home that never use to. They started gardening, and had a lot of tomatoes. So they tried them and now they are eating them. Thinking it's a new thing, but it isn't. It's an old dish a little tart, but I think they thought it would taste more like a red tomato. Now I am hearing that many more like the fried ones! I have never tried a GFT sandwich with bacon before, just always just had the fried as a side dish. Never dipped it in a sauce, as I liked them just as they are fried. Love from Western, N.Y.

[@comesitatmytable9044]

It was great hearing from you. We are always so tickled to try something we thought we wouldn't care for and then like it. Like the folks you described during the pandemic who tried FGT for the first time and found them to their liking. It's a wonderful moment for the taste buds! We appreciate that you are joining us from Western NY.

[@kathynorton3191]

We have eaten fried green tomatoes all our lives and love them so much. We cook them just like you do and like them by themselves with no sauce. You just can't beat them with a summer meal. We, too, have made a meal out of fried yellow squash and fried green tomatoes on several occasions. Yum!

[@comesitatmytable9044]

It's kind of a southern comfort meal. It's delicious and we enjoy it so much. We appreciate that you are watching our channel. Have a great day!

[@jeanenebatt1482]

I put some pepper on mine. When I was a child my uncle made fried green tomato sandwiches with fried egg and a bit of mustard on top!

[@SalLeeHolland]

Sometimes I would add pepper or Italian seasoning. Yes I have eaten them with a fried egg Great minds think alike ;-)

[@teresahuffman3384]

We make fried green tomatoes all year long. Its also good mixing flour and corn meal .We can them up then fry them For canned all you do is to wash tomatoes cut into about 1/4 inch slices stick into wide mouth jars. Add salt and water and leave 1 inch head space. Seal and Hot water bath for 5 min. Thats it. I know alot of people says not safe. My great great grandmother done this until she passed and my mother got the reciepe been doing that for over 100 years . Its safe

My family visited Savannah Georga and ate in a restaurant there. The menu had a BLT which had fried green tomatoes on it. I had it but my family said yuck!! Well, it was delicious, and I now eat some that way every summer. My Kentucky Grandmother made them with half cornmeal, half self rising flour and dipped in buttermilk first then the flour mixture, no eggs. Everyone does them different and all are delicious!

[@user-gg1fh4hn4l]

Excellent 👍 years ago I rented a movie and they were making these in the movie. The recipe came with the movie, I still have it. Thanks for the memories

[@dmartin1203]

I love them, too, but I add a bit of buttermilk to the egg, and some corn starch to the flour. Delicious!

[@cathylongstreth5405]

I think I must have been over frying and too hot a fire@; your grease looks a better Brown, and your tomatoes look lovely. I also never salted my tomatoes that much. These look fantastic! I ❤ fried green tomatoes! I have never used the egg, then flour...just been doing it all wrong! Always just used the blue package of Louisiana Fish fry.

[@lorrainehaller2512]

My goodness did this bring back memories of my Mommy and I in the kitchen cooking. She cooked them exactly the same way as you did. She was a good cook. She learned from her Mother and I know she must have helped Grandma cook because there were 9 children. That’s a lot of mouths to feed.

Actually Fried Green Tomatoes originated in England back in the early 1700's. My Grandfather was from England, fought against Germany in his 20's and used to make this. I always thought that was strange even when he offered to me. He told me that his Grandfather used to eat them as food was scarce. That is as far back as I can see but who knows. Either way I don't care where it originated from I just know that they are one of my favorite meals. Thank you for your videos.

Its ok i like mine half red and half green! Lol. Just a little on the sweet side! Yum yum. If you put them in the egg then flour then egg then flour again it makes the coating double thick. Takes a little longer to cook but the tomatoes come out so crisp and good! It's southern! Yum!

I was and am born in Michigan. And I've been eating fried green tomatoes my entire life. But, my mother in law who was born and raised in Eastern Kentucky, moved to Michigan after getting married, would make her tomatoes with cornmeal. Oh, and was good. I couldn't ask for a better mother in law. She is truly missed.

[@cherylpearson1963]

I just wet mine with water and dredge in flour so it's not so heavy with flour. No salt and I add some butter to the oil. Then drain them on a cookie rack. Yours look great. I live in Mn, I get funny looks when I talk about fried green tomatoes 😀

Cornmeal with your flour is a very nice addition.... adds texture. Plus, slice 'em thin and get them crisp.

18:33 "It's a little salty." 😅😂😅😂 You salted them FOUR TIMES!!!! But I lived in NC for 10 years, so I get it. They do look great, and I love me some fried green tomatoes. I always debate whether to use a wet or dry coating...both can be good, but judt different. One other tip, cook them the first day you get them home. My son just brought me some and I couldn't get to them for a couple of days and you know what happened 😢😢😢 THANK YOU for sharing.

I just finished supper but now I'm hungry for fried green maters! I do about 3 parts corn meal to 1 part flour & fry them in bacon grease. But I'm with you, the greener the better. And YESSSS to the bacon mater "sammiches" hehehe. I wish so bad I had a gas stove. I miss that so much. Years ago I was watching a friend of mine's kids while they went on a cruise. I had the kids run out to the garden and pick me some green tomatoes & I fried em up. 2 of the 3 kids loved em, the other one not so much. I considered that a success.
