Fried green tomatoes are one of those dishes I didn’t fully appreciate until I was grown. These are one of my favorite treats, indulged in at my favorite meat and three restaurant as a side with beef tips in gravy over rice.
I haven’t made them at home in years. When I noticed the grocery store had a display of the green beauties I knew it was time to whip up a batch.

Oh..these look so good!! I like the flour coated tomatoes so much better than cornmeal coated. Will be making them this week. Thanks!!!!!
I’m the same way. That’s one of the reasons I never buy the ones in the frozen food section because they are always coated in cornmeal.
Thanks for commenting. I always enjoy hearing from you.
AHhhhh, awesome! I’ve been wanting to try fried green tomatoes. I am getting so eager for our plants to start producing!
