FRIED GREEN TOMATOES WITH GARLIC-BASIL AIOLI RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• To prepare the aioli, combine the olive oil and the blended oil in a measuring cup. Set aside. Place the garlic, egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a blender. Pulse the ingredients until combined. Slowly pour the oil through the opening at the top of your blender. (The speed should be on low.) After the ingredients are well-blended and creamy, use a spatula to scoop the aioli into a small bowl. Fold in the fresh basil and oregano. To prepare the tomatoes, combine the cornmeal, Parmesan cheese, cayenne pepper, 1 tsp of salt, 1/2 tsp of black pepper, dried basil, and dried oregano into a medium-size bowl. Set aside. Combine the flour and the remaining salt and pepper into a second bowl. Set aside. Whisk the eggs together in a third bowl. First, dip the tomatoes in the flour mixture; coat completely. Then coat the tomatoes in the egg. Finally, dredge the slices in the cornmeal mixture and coat completely. Pour about 1/4" of oil into a large skillet set over medium heat. After the oil is ready, add in the tomatoes (in batches, if necessary). Fry the tomatoes until golden brown on one side for about 3-4 minutes. Flip the tomatoes and cook until brown on the other side. Remove the slices from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with the aioli.
