Fried green tomatoes some people love them, some people hate them but here in the south your at least gonna try them. Fried green tomatoes are so true to their name because its exactly that fried green tomatoes no frills and thrills. A lot of people just eat them with a bottle of hot sauce. The thing with green tomatoes is the core is bitter and hard so I eliminate it completely by eliminating the bitter hard core I’ve also remove the buttermilk bath that is commonly used on them. I find when you soak them in buttermilk and spice u actually have a less flavorful tomato so now I just season directly on the tomato let it sit for a couple minutes then trap that seasoning in with the breading which leads to a flavor packed tomatoes. Just a side note if your tomatoes look funny after being cored and sliced don’t worry once their breaded it makes a world of difference for the look.
