How to Make the Best Fried Green Tomatoes | Allrecipes.com

[@jerrislittlereef4023]

NEVER discard the stem ends, thats just a waste of good tomato. Just cut the stem part out of the tomato top, bread and fry it up just like the rest. DELICIOUS 😋

[@jeff1967ist]

That is what I thought also

[@lornadean5272]

Ikr

[@weiland24]

Yep

[@JustJenRx]

Right!!! Great catch!

[@krazykracker7706]

Or just eat it

[@padussia]

Thanks so much for this video. I have not only recently just tasted fried green tomatoes, I've just started to learn to prepare them also. They are so delicious. Thanks for the extra tips like the butter milk. I will be trying that.

[@NiansCookingDiary]

just yummy & delicious recipe....wanna prepare this very soon....thank you so much for sharing this....

[@billyspickard3146]

OMG, best fried green 🍏 tomatoes ever!! Also I made a delicious topping for them, had only 3 for dinner tonight and so good. Thanks

[@sandragawinski3456]

Love this recipe! And yes you CAN use a firm hard red tomato (it's still unripe)..also I add a shot of tobasco or hot sauce 1/2 to 1 tsp..wonderful..never had the dipping sauce though..didn't really need it but it would be great with ranch dressing if you prefer..love 'em just by themselves ! Making them tonight !

[@BlueEyedDemonWoman]

We always use Italian herb breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese mixed with some flour, salt and pepper which we use for the initial dusting and the second thicker coating.

[@allrecipes]

That sounds delicious! Thank you for sharing :)

[@allrecipes]

Yes, you can use tomatillos instead of green tomatoes in the recipe. Be sure to remove the husks and wash the tomatillos well to remove the slightly sticky natural coating. Let us know how the substitution works for you. Thank you!

[@TheEunichorn]

I tried it and it was delicious!

[@AKIYIAKELLY]

Great Video.. I enjoyed it. It was Quick and Easy!

[@allrecipes]

Great question! Unfortunately, red tomatoes would not work well for this recipe. One of the reasons to use green tomatoes is that they are under ripe, which makes them nice and sturdy to hold up well during frying. Red tomatoes are likely to fall apart. If you do choose to make this with red tomatoes, look for nice and firm tomatoes.

[@MercyMinister]

Green tomatoes only.

[@marcellinodadon1103]

...in the South...we don't use egg, milk or breadcrumbs...just tomatoes, flour, cornmeal, salt/pepper and hot sauce...

[@Adub771]

This is how I’ve always made them too! East Tennessee born &! Bred

[@Luwanasue]

@@Adub771I’m in East Tennessee too. But I’ve always soaked mine in buttermilk and then flour:cornmeal, salt/pepper. Without hot sauce 😊

[@christina2119]

Whats a good dipping sauce for these ?

[@giannisozo7928]

Amazing music! And at the perfect volume!

[@Planted_Jungle_Daddy]

Classic Southern FGT recipe, but I grew up in the north and my Grandmother always made them with a mixture of bread crumbs, salt, pepper, oregano, and Parmesan cheese for the final coating. The saltiness of the cheese combined with the tartness of the tomato and the crunch from the bread crumbs would always send me into sensory overload! LOVE me some FGT! They are also awesome on a BLT with peppered bacon of course!

[@nolanschotanus2769]

This is good. But you should make sure to dry the tomatoes with a bit of salt and a paper towel before dipping them in flour

[@brusselsprout5851]

In the bread crumbs (panko) I did add a little garlic powder. I wondered how corn meal would go, too. Thank you.

[@tashleymcgowen6727]

What if I don't have cornmeal? Can I contue with this recipe?

[@cakedecor8]

Are tomatillos better since thats what you used in the video??

[@stevenwright8214]

I used flour, salt and egbeat and they turned out like breaded green tomatoes. It was pretty good.

[@thewrightfamily4461]

Without milk?

[@themagnificentfrolic]

I've had good luck using those hard grocery store 'ripe' tomatoes...you know, the ones that taste like cardboard when 'fresh'. well, they fry well and taste far far better fried. Just lay the slices on paper towels, sprinkle with a bit of salt and leave them set a bit to draw out excess moisture, then pat them dry and proceed. It works very well.

[@chewie2055]

themagnificentfrolic Those are called hot house tomatos

[@elmaramara]

aauummm am going tu cook some i love those fried green tomatoes. thank you so much for the recipe and the video!!!

[@moomoopuppy5810]

I've been looking for these all over in Northern California, but no one makes them. There is on place in Los Gatos, but nobody has recommended getting them there.

[@melvonniebell]

Yummy so good with ranch

[@lj8428]

As with many, or most, of the recipes on this channel, the recipe link in the description doesn't work.

[@brittanyleeful]

Maybe but they might not be firm enough. Green tomatoes are quite firm and sour. When they fry they soften up a bit but still hold their shape well. I think it's worth the experiment! Could be delicious.

[@startcascadia789]

do you serve them hot or cold?

[@Adub771]

Hot!

[@JackieCabe]

luv, luv, luv green fried tomatoes...nom,nom,nom

[@TheEunichorn]

Can you use Tomatillos instead?

[@RicardoRodriguez-yf9nj]

I'd like to know as well

[@supermanswife29-11]

Better cooled on a rack. Paper towels will cause them to be soggy.

[@judithcopeland6821]

I was just about to say the same thing...glad I'm not the only one who noticed that....

[@christinavaccaro5417]

What could you use as a dipping sauce ?

[@Druzier]

I like ranch but homemade- sour cream and a hidden valley ranch packet. It's creamier and thicker and compliments them well imo

[@christinavaccaro5417]

@@Druzier thank u ! Will try🍅

[@tomhenry897]

Buffalo sauce

[@TheMrpiggyboy]

I love the fact that your spider has seen many a deep fry sessions.

[@skullee86]

You have to use green tomatoes because they are hard. Red tomatoes are too soft.

[@vinyltalkwithtavis3145]

perfection

[@unicornvloggers50]

It really annoyed me that it wasn't coated completely

[@tjfy34c]

Now Ya’ll would not be Trien to Pull this old Naggs Leg, Naw woodJa ?

[@luningningsalangsang656]

I like this cuz I have a lot tomatoes 🍅 from May garden red yellow green tks

[@MADGUNSMONSTER]

One minor quibble: Why not place the tomatoes back on the same grate you had them on, as opposed to the paper towel method?

[@Nula7]

very nice vid,, also the movie " fried green tomatoes " is amazing, you've should watch it :)

[@mosesofny]

Is it possible to use a deep fryer and have the same outcome?

[@allrecipes]

Yes, you may use a deep fryer for the tomatoes, Moses Osborne. The only catch is that if it's deep, the tomatoes my float in the oil (instead of having the bottom of the skillet to reinforce their shape) and lose some of their coating. Keep track that they don't crowd each other, and use a slotted spoon to lift them out. Give it a try and let us know how it works out.

[@mosesofny]

Allrecipes i never got the chance to deep fry them BUT i did make them following your instructions. Instant success! Thanks for everything

[@mrhymer95]

I love fried green tomatoes!!

[@Phily6969able]

Lol i imagined so yes you could use them. But i don't know how they would turn out.

[@sarcasmo57]

The answer to all three is fried green tomatoes.

[@8sabu1982]

mmmmmm Ricos .,.Very Delicious.,.¡¡¡¡

[@icedpomagrant]

would red tomatoes work as well ?

[@eugenesedita]

What temp is the frying oil, please?

[@alanwood4968]

Non of you can do fried tomato's checked them all to my great surprise.

[@greenmonkeypoo321]

I just think of the movie...

[@Wimberlymusic]

In the video, those look like tomatillos, which do not taste like normal tomatoes.

[@sugetoosty1685]

tomatillos are much smaller- these are green tomatoes

[@MercyMinister]

If one likes soggy tomatoes, then go ahead and drain on a paper towel. I like crisp fried green tomatoes, so I drain them on a rack.

[@lindaburnette195]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@donaldself1937]

Instead of black pepper I use lemon pepper

[@lamethalewis6337]

Aayyye! Served on a (small) bed of shredded lettuce with a buttermilk ranch "drizzle"... or BLT (fried green) style sammich! oh, my!!😊

[@richardowens9061]

These are great garnished with some crumbled goats cheese.

[@tonyd6853]

That camera just doesn't cut it.

[@stephensmith3184]

Why tongs???? Not a fan!

[@Nula7]

you*

[@peterlehmann2760]

Those are tomatillos, not tomatoes.

[@therealniasha]

This needed seasoning 😊 , other than salt and pepper . It looked bland.

[@buddha65281]

don't make them that thick... 1/4" is perfect..,
