Fried Green Tomatoes

 

Ingredients
· 2 medium green tomatoes
· 1 cup cornmeal
· 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
· 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
· 1/2 cup buttermilk
· Oil for frying
 
Steps
1) Wash and slice the tomatoes. Do not peel them. Mix the cornmeal, flour, and seasoned salt in a gallon bag. Dip the tomato slices in the buttermilk and then place in the bag, a few at a time, to coat with the flour-cornmeal mixture.
2) Fill a large skillet with approximately 1/4 inch of oil. Place over medium-high heat, and when the oil is hot, add a few slices at a time. Fry until browned on one side, then turn over and brown on the other side. Drain on a towel-lined platter.
