Fried green tomatoes, or an attempt, at least.

Well, me and the GF decided to attempt some fried green tomatoes. We usually get the garden-fresh fruit from her father. Unfortunately for him, a critter of some sort has been knocking down some of the tomatoes before they get a chance to ripen. So we thought, let's fry these things up and see how they taste.

Of course, if you know me at all (which maybe none of you do), I like to do things a little fool hardy. We made some "Rustic Fried Green Tomatoes."

The GF had made some gluten-free breadcrumbs using the oven pilot to dry them out. We food-processed them to as fine as the machine would allow, adding cayenne, Italian seasoning, dried garlic, freshly ground black pepper, and a dash of sea salt. We dredged the tomatoes in buttermilk, coated, and re-dredged & re-coated. After which we fried it up in some medium-heated extra-virgin coconut oil.

Because we were not using an extra-fine base like corn flour or wheat flour, a good portion of what we used fell off during the frying process. But no matter - it tasted good, the tomatoes were still crisp, and it was delicious.

Thank you for reading and looking at these photos.
