- In a small bowl, add the buttermilk and a couple dashes of hot sauce if you want it, then stir to combine.
- In a separate shallow dish add the flour, salt, pepper, and cornmeal mix.
- Batter your tomatoes in this order: first into the flour/cornmeal, then into the milk and back into the flour.
- Add about four tablespoons of oil to a regular skillet and warm over medium-high until the oil sizzles as soon as a tomato touches it. As they cook, some of the oil will absorb, so you may need to add a tablespoon more between each batch.
- Fry the tomatoes in batches, being careful not to crowd them. Fry about 5 minutes per side and the breading should be golden brown. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with a little extra salt if needed. Serve immediately.

Ingredients:
- 3 medium-sized green tomatoes (sliced into 1/3-inch slices)
- Vegetable oil (amount varies)
- 2 eggs (lightly beaten)
- 1 cup of all purpose flour
- 1 cup of Italian breadcrumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon of sea salt
How to cook:
- Pour vegetable oil into a large cast-iron skillet ( approx. a depth of 1/4 to 1/2 inches deep)
- Heat to 375° degrees F. To test the heat, flick a few breadcrumbs into the oil. If the oil doesn't react/spit, it's not hot enough yet).
- Lightly beat the eggs in one bowl; set aside.
- Put the flour in it's own bowl; set aside.
- Combine the breadcrumbs, sea salt, and ground black pepper; set aside.
- Create a small assembly line next to your skillet, or as close by as you can, so you can dredge your tomato slices and place them in the skillet with less of a mess.
- Dredge each tomato slice in flour, followed by the egg, followed by the breadcrumb mixture.
- Carefully place the tomato slices into the hot oil, in batches, cooking for 1-2 minutes per side or until golden brown on both sides.
- Remove the golden slices with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels or a rack to drain absorb/drain the oil.
- Garnish with parsley if desired.
- Serve hot with dipping sauce of your choice. If serving on their own, sprinkle with a bit of sea salt.

Ingredients:
- medium to large tomatoes.
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons canola or other mild-flavored oil
- tablespoon chopped basil and/or parsley (optional)
- salt and pepper
How to cook:
- Slice, but don't peel (the skin holds them together) the tomatoes about 1/2 -3/4 inch thick. Take very thin slices from the top and bottom and discard or reserve for another use.
- Mix the cornmeal and salt together on a plate. In a small bowl, thoroughly beat the egg.
- Melt butter and oil together over medium-high heat. Dip a slice of tomato into the egg, let excess egg drip back into the bowl, and dip quickly into the cornmeal on each side and put immediately into the hot pan. Repeat until the skillet is full, but not crowded. Fry until lightly browned, turn, and fry the other side. Remove to a warmed plate and fry remaining batches.
- Serve warm, adding salt and papper to taste. Sprinkle with the chopped herbs, if using (if you wish, the herbs can be added to the beaten egg.).
