How To make Fried Green Tomatoes and Pasta
green tomatoes (about 1 medium per serving bread crumbs REAL parmesan or romano cheese -- grated. (The adventu real yummy very-virgin olive oil garlic cloves angel hair pasta (please, please make your cream, eggs, milk
or whatever your die
1. Slice the tomatoes about 1/2 cm thick. (Vary this according to your success at frying the suckers!) Dip in cream, then in a mixture of bread crumbs and cheese :
about 50% each.
2. Heat about 50-65 ml olive oil in a large skillet or omelet pan until hot, but not smoking. NOTE TO THE NOVICE: Olive oil smokes easily! Saute' garlic until LIGHTLY browned. If you overdo the garlic, or cook at too high a temperature, it will taste YUCKY! Remove the (oh, yeah....peeled and pureed) garlic from the oil and discard. Fry the tomato slices until crusty and lightly browned on each side. The tomatoes should be softened, but not mushy. You will probably find it necessary to make more batches of garlic oil from time to time, as you fry up the slices of green tomato. This is good.
3. You will finally toss all the (cooked) pasta with the remaining garlic-ky oil (there should be plenty of this!). If there is some cream left over, a LITTLE of this should go in too. Top with the fried tomato slices and a generous helping of shredded cheese and a little bit of bread crumbs.
Author's Notes: This recipe was made for me and my family by my uncle, Larry Ross, former advertising directory of Food & Wine and author of Nanny's Texas Table cookbook. The point is, this man is brilliant, and I'm proud to claim him as an uncle. Foodwise, that is. I could eat at his place for years. It's a little loose, and I've had more and less success with it at varying times, but this is the general idea. Most recently, I made it for my long-time girlfriend with a salmon mousse made with cream cheese topped with capers and lemon, and we ended up eating bites of the mousse with the green tomato/pasta. (Actually, we ended up doing something quite different, but culiNARily speaking....)
I also like to add some grated black pepper you should really invest in some very, very fresh peppercorns from a good source, if possible. The difference is major :
trust me! Also, I mix in a few drops of Tabasco for flavor ONLY when tossing with the garlic oil -- be sparing, and toss WELL. I am SOLELY responsible for any aphrodisiac effects this recipe may incite! Please send checks or money orders only! Be careful!
Difficulty : moderate. Precision : measure ingredients.

Best Fried Green Tomatoes Recipe
This is how I make fried green tomatoes. I like a cornmeal breading for this classic southern dish because it gives fried green tomatoes a great flavor, color, and crunch that flour alone can't beat.

What you need to make Fried Green Tomatoes
GREEN TOMATOES
1 cup CORNMEAL (use a medium or fine grind...coarsely ground cornmeal can be a bit much)
1 cup all-purpose FLOUR (divided)
1 EGG
SEASONING (be generous, and use whatever seasonings you like...I prefer Italian seasonings, lots of garlic powder, and black pepper)
SALT
OIL for cooking
How to cook Fried Green Tomatoes
Every now and then I'll order fried green tomatoes at a restaurant, and whether I like them or not will depend on if they are battered in cornmeal or not. Cornmeal adds that great flavor and crunch that I associate with classic fried tomatoes. Buy hard, green tomatoes. They can have a tinge of red, but not too much, because you want them firm enough to cook and not become too soft.
Slice the green tomatoes to desired width; I like mine about ¼ inch thick.
Spread the tomato slices out and lightly salt.
Set up a breading station with 3 flat-bottom bowls.
In the first bowl place ½ cup of flour. Season the flour as desired, and mix.
In the second bowl whisk 1 egg and 1 Tbsp of cold water.
In the third bowl place the other ½ cup of flour and cornmeal. Season the cornmeal and flour as desired, and mix.
Using a paper towel, dry the tomato slices.
Heat a skillet of oil on medium-low heat. You don't need a lot of oil, about 1/8 inch deep.
Take a slice of tomato and on each side bread it lightly in the flour, then coat it in the egg, then bread it one final time in the cornmeal/flour mixture.
Carefully place the breaded tomato in the skillet. It should sizzle and begin to cook immediately when it hits the oil.
Cook each tomato 2-3 minutes or until golden brown in color.
Remove fried tomatoes from the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain for a moment, then serve.
Serve fried green tomatoes hot. They're good enough to eat plain, or you can accompany with hot sauce, creamy salad dressing, aoli dressing, or a mild mustard or creamy horseradish dressing.
