Fried Green Tomatoes with Remoulade Dipping Sauce

Fried Green Tomatoes with Remoulade Dipping Sauce side dish

Nothing says Summertime in the South like crispy, fried green tomatoes! A mouthwatering appetizer, this recipe gets creative with the acidic flavors of unripe green tomatoes lightly tossed in crunchy breadcrumbs. Paired up with a zesty dipping sauce of jalapeños, creamy mayo and of course a little Carolina Cooker® Southern Sunshine Sauce - it's one of our seasonal favorites to fry up.

Note: you may need more flour and breadcrumbs depending on size of tomato – have some available just in case

Ingredients:

Yield 4 servings

• 3 large green tomato
• Salt as needed
• 1 cup flour
• 1 tbsp CC Cajun seasoning
• 3 eggs lightly beaten
• 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
• Oil for frying

Directions:

1. Heat oil to 350 degrees.
2. Slice your green tomato into roughly ½ inch slices, place the slices on a plate and season one side with salt and set aside. Let them rest for about 5 min.
3. While the tomatoes are resting, mix the cajun seasoning with the flour and add to a plate. Beside the plate, have your beaten eggs in a bowl and put the panko breadcrumbs on a separate plate.
4. When tomatoes are ready, place them one by one in the flour, then the egg and then cover well with the breadcrumbs. There should not be any part of the tomato uncovered. Set finished tomatoes on a plate and do this step until all tomatoes are breaded.
5. Once breaded it's time to fry them! Fry until they are a nice golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil and place on a paper towel lined plate to soak up excess oil. Remove the towel and serve with the sauce.

• ¼ cup CC Southern Sunshine sauce
• 1 tbsp minced parsley
