Description

Green tomatoes are fantastic for frying, they are still sturdy and have a great tang.  Here’s a great take on an old classic.

Ingredients

  • 4 Large green tomatoes, cut into 1/8-inch slices
  • 0.5 c fresh goat cheese (cherve)
  • 2 T minced scallions
  • 1 c dry bread crumbs
  • FOR DIPPING SAUCE
  • 0.5 c mayonnaise
  • 0.5 c sour cream
  • 2 T lemon juice
  • 2 T minced parsley
  • 1 t ground white pepper
  • 2 T minced chives
  • 1 t Spice Islands Beau Monde seasoning
  • vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

Combine the cheese and scallions. Use your hands to roll the cheese into several large, tablespoon-size clumps. With your palm heel or fingertips, roll one clump at a time into a thin layer between two pieces of wax paper. Place these flattened layers onto half of the tomatoes, then cover each cheese-covered slice with another slice, making little thin sandwiches, pressing down gently. Dredge tomatoes in flour, then the beaten egg, then the bread crumbs.

On the stove top, heat oil, at a depth of roughly 1/2-inch, to 360 degrees in an electric skillet or deep-sided fry pan. Fry the green tomatoes until browned on both sides. Sprinkle with sea salt and serve with the Garden Dipping Sauce.

To make the Garden Dipping Sauce, merely combine all of the ingredients listed.
