Hominy Grills Fried Green Tomatoes Recipes

GREEN TOMATOES ON THE GRILL

Steps:

• Wash and dry the tomatoes.
• Cut a thin slice at the top and the lower part of each tomato, so that you will not have any rounded slices.
• Slice the tomatoes, about 0.25 cm/ ¼ inch thick.Combine the olive oil, grated garlic cloves, chili flakes, some salt and pepper in a bowl.
• Add the tomato slices and stir well to coat. If you have the time, you can marinate the tomatoes for 15 to 30 minutes, but it is not mandatory.
• Heat a grill pan on medium heat.
• Add the tomato slices to the pan. If there is some leftover marinade in the bowl, reserve it.
• Grill the tomatoes for about 3 minutes on one side. Flip using tongs and grill for further 2-3 minutes on the other side. They should have nice char marks and become softer, but not be too soft or mushy. They should still hold their shape.
• Place the grilled tomatoes on a serving plate and pour the reserved marinade on top.
• Finely chop the red onion. Place it in a small bowl.
• Add the Greek yogurt, mustard, 1 teaspoon honey, vinegar, paprika powder, salt and pepper, and most of the chives. Stir well.
• Adjust the taste with more honey, if necessary. Sprinkle the remaining chives on top.
• Serve the grilled green tomatoes with the yogurt sauce and some fresh basil leaves.

SOUTHERN FRIED GREEN TOMATOES RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large shallow bowl combine flour and spices. Whisk or stir to combine and set aside.
• .Use a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife and cutting board to slice each tomato into 1/4 inch pieces (no larger). Lay the sliced green tomatoes out on a large cookie sheet or plate and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Next dredge each slice in the flour mixture until coated shaking off the excess. Return to the cookie sheet and let sit for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes the tomatoes will begin to soak up some of the flour mixture. Once this happens dredge the tomatoes through the flour mixture a second time shaking off the excess.
• Add vegetable oil to a large deep skillet and heat over medium heat. You want the oil about an inch deep. Once the oil is shimmering, add your green tomatoes in and fry for 3-5 minutes per side until they are brown and crispy.
• Once golden brown remove from the oil and place on a paper towel lined plate and continue to fry in batches until all the tomatoes are fried. Serve warm with hot mayo sauce.
