Fried Green Tomatoes 

Love this video. My mama taught me to cube the green tomatoes, cube a Vidalia onion, but to slice a yellow squash. Toss in a bowl firstly with salt and pepper and then with about 1/4 cup cornmeal. You can add a Tablesppon of flour, if desired. This is a WINNING combination. Fry it just as you did. We have this all summer long. Hope y'all try it!

I prefer fried green tomatoes that have just begun to turn red. They have a richer, more tangy flavor. Fried Green tomatoes are my very favorite fresh garden food.

As a Southern lady, If you mix corn meal in the flour, equal parts, the tomatoes will be nice & crispy. Yummy.

Loved this video. I have always fried mine in corn meal and often bacon grease. I have green tomatoes sitting on my counter now and will give this method a try!

I love a good fried green tomato! Yours look amazing! My Memaw and Mama made (not sure what it is called, we just referred to it as a fried vegetable medley. You cube potatoes, diced onion, green tomatoes, zucchini or yellow squash, as close to same size as possible. Start with potatoes first then add other veggies in. Fry slow until vegetables are tender but not mushy. Season with salt & pepper and just before we it finishes frying sprinkle with cornmeal. It is fresh and delicious! Ive read that it was just named "all" ? Anyway, of course best fried in bacon grease 😊

Love that you and Melissa converse during cooking.

The first time I tried frying green tomatoes the flour wouldn't stick to them. I was wondering what I did wrong and now I realized that I missed a step which was dipping them in the beaten eggs first. Thank you again for this recipe. You're always cooking something I like.

I am out west and tried my first fried green tomatoe about 5 yrs ago. I did not know what i had been missing! I now search out green tomatoes and do it just like you are ❤

I just stumbled onto your videos and I just love your recipes and the cooking.❤

I totally get your preference of tomatoes that have NOT begun to ripen even slightly. They taste difference to me too! I had a huge garden back in the day and canned. We never fixed friend green tomatoes until the end of season when the heat was gone but still had green tomatoes in the vine. Those were the very best for frying. We also had a great pickling recipe for green tomatoes.

Takes back home. Mom's been gone for years now and this video took back in her kitchen with wonderful memories. I still haven't mastered her technique, but their still yummy! Thank you!

Fried green tomatoes with bacon AND pimento cheese sandwich is so good! Of course the pimento cheese is homemade 😊

I have lived in the North all my life. Love fried green tomatoes and bread tomatoes.

Funny how everyone does green tomatoes differently. In our area, (Indiana), we just use self-rising flour, salt, and pepper...no egg, no cornmeal. And I agree with your friend. I have to have a little bit of red on mine. All green tastes too 'green' to me! These look perfect. Now you are making my mouth water. I've only had one mess so far this year. These look so good!! A restaurant in our area serves that fried green tomato BLT. It is so tasty! I like mine on white Wonder Bread with butter and salt!

Cornmeal n flour for me and cut in wedges. This is how a restaurant did it. Loved it. With a dipping dressing that was creamy/spicey. Yum

I put onion powder and sometimes garlic powder on mine. Every body loves them. Also, add a tablespoon of corn meal in mine. Love your show.

My mom was born and raised in southern Arkansas. I loved my mom's cooking. I loved Fried Green Tomatoes! But I don't garden. Both my folks did😊. I watch your videos and have picked up some great tips and recipes. Thank you. Take care of each other.

Yeah, we southerners take credit for these originally. 😊 However, the first time I had them was at Tamarack, the Arts and Crafts Center in WV. Our favorite fried green tomato restaurant closed, so I'm looking forward to making mine! We like ours with a spicy mustard sauce (Just mustard, tabasco, sour cream, and mayo). I hope you try it and like it! Thanks!

My Kentucky momma dredged those green tomatoes in corn meal and fried them in bacon grease. Best I’ve ever had to this day. 🌺🌺🌺

Look so good

I love fried green tomatoes, battered in corn meal and flour and the dipped in ranch dressing. Thanks for the great video. 💓💓

Классное видео

Cornmeal with your flour is a very nice addition.... adds texture. Plus, slice 'em thin and get them crisp.

I had two fried green tomatoes for breakfast this morning. This is one thing I learn how to cook early in life.Thank you Tom.

Oh i can't wait to try this.

I love fried green tomatoes ! Yum! They are also good with grits.

I put some pepper on mine. When I was a child my uncle made fried green tomato sandwiches with fried egg and a bit of mustard on top!

Love me some fried green tomatoes! I have also done them in a air fryer and they were delicious.

Thank You Tom and Melissa ❤❤

Love fried green tomatoes. I agree, they're much better before they've started to turn. Fried green tomato and bacon sandwich sounds yummy!

Can't wait to try. Love the way you clean as you go, that's a habit I will adopt. God bless

I grew up in West Virginia. We always had a big garden and could hardly wait for some good-sized green tomatoes to fry. You made my mouth water!

Looks delicious!

Thank you!!

I love fried green tomatoes!

Oh my garsh I absolutely LOVE fried green tomotoes!!!!

Love fried green tomatoes! 💜

We make fried green tomatoes all year long. Its also good mixing flour and corn meal .We can them up then fry them For canned all you do is to wash tomatoes cut into about 1/4 inch slices stick into wide mouth jars. Add salt and water and leave 1 inch head space. Seal and Hot water bath for 5 min. Thats it. I know alot of people says not safe. My great great grandmother done this until she passed and my mother got the reciepe been doing that for over 100 years . Its safe

I love fried green tomatoes. I was raised eating them in the south. I live in Elizabethton Tennessee. Thank you so much for the wonderful video.

I only use flour in mine also. Looks good. Thanks for sharing

Yummmmm!!!! Thank you for this wonderful recipe!!

I absolutely like Is green tomatoes. I make them every fall and we eat them eat them

Those looked amazing. Never had one but will definitely try.

Love fried green tomatoes but I like my a little red too!

We're from Missouri and we like our fried green tomatoes dipped in flour too!

I have eaten these since I was a kid (in my mid 70's now). Love them. It use to be you liked them or you didn't. However, since the Covid thing came out many people were trying to cook at home that never use to. They started gardening, and had a lot of tomatoes. So they tried them and now they are eating them. Thinking it's a new thing, but it isn't. It's an old dish a little tart, but I think they thought it would taste more like a red tomato. Now I am hearing that many more like the fried ones! I have never tried a GFT sandwich with bacon before, just always just had the fried as a side dish. Never dipped it in a sauce, as I liked them just as they are fried. Love from Western, N.Y.

After looking at your video - I went out and purchase some green tomatoes and I cooked them exactly like you did and they were excellent! Thank you for the recipe! By the way, I ordered that special ingredient for my meatloaf. I found it on Amazon and I am making meatloaf for my Sunday dinner. I will let you know how it came out. Keep cooking!!!!!!!

We have eaten fried green tomatoes all our lives and love them so much. We cook them just like you do and like them by themselves with no sauce. You just can't beat them with a summer meal. We, too, have made a meal out of fried yellow squash and fried green tomatoes on several occasions. Yum!

I love fried green tomatoes. I also like fried okra fried with the tomatoes

Tom, I am so impressed that you are Meticulous with cooking your recipes. I just know you cook delicious food.

😋Delicious!! I have been wanting some fried green tomatoes and now, I'm going to have to go fix me some!

My sister made them once when I was single digits aged, for someone else. Now, I get to try my hand at this recipe!🤓😁🤭😇 Doug

My first time here and I sure enjoyed your video. The tomatoes look so yummy!

I have ate fried green tomatoes all my life. Always used cornmeal and flour. My husband and I went to Capronis restaurant in Maysville years ago. They served them with of all things, salsa! My husband and daughter always has to have it with their fried green tomatoes.

Had fried green tomatoes at The Loveless Cafe just outside of Nashville about 4 years ago. So good! I’ll have to try these. Just got some fresh green tomatoes yesterday.

Fried green tomatoes and fried squash are two of my most favorite things to eat in the Summer!

I love them, too, but I add a bit of buttermilk to the egg, and some corn starch to the flour. Delicious!

I just finished supper but now I'm hungry for fried green maters! I do about 3 parts corn meal to 1 part flour & fry them in bacon grease. But I'm with you, the greener the better. And YESSSS to the bacon mater "sammiches" hehehe. I wish so bad I had a gas stove. I miss that so much. Years ago I was watching a friend of mine's kids while they went on a cruise. I had the kids run out to the garden and pick me some green tomatoes & I fried em up. 2 of the 3 kids loved em, the other one not so much. I considered that a success.

Дакшат 😍👍

I love fried green tomatoes. We used to have a restaurant close by that served them with pimento cheese spread between two of them. Delicious!

My Mom mixed flour with cornmeal for dipping and egg/ S&P. So yummy

I just wet mine with water and dredge in flour so it's not so heavy with flour. No salt and I add some butter to the oil. Then drain them on a cookie rack. Yours look great. I live in Mn, I get funny looks when I talk about fried green tomatoes 😀

My family visited Savannah Georga and ate in a restaurant there. The menu had a BLT which had fried green tomatoes on it. I had it but my family said yuck!! Well, it was delicious, and I now eat some that way every summer. My Kentucky Grandmother made them with half cornmeal, half self rising flour and dipped in buttermilk first then the flour mixture, no eggs. Everyone does them different and all are delicious!

I have never had fried green tomatoes, but these look fantastic. I will have to give this recipe a try. Thank you for another great video.

I can smell those delicious tomatoes from here. Yummy 😋

Just found your channel and am enjoying your cooking videos. Will definitely try the fried green tomatoes. I had them at Paula Deen's and they were served with a red pepper sauce which was very tasty.

Thank you for the recipe! The first time I had them was at Magnolias in Charleston. Omg! I have been hooked on them ever since.

I grew up in the North, and learned to cook there. My family often had fried green tomatoes. I think it was a way to stretch foods.

You are correct, many restaurants have no idea how to prepare fried green tomatoes. I am from the South. This was a staple. Yours are beautiful. So much technology you would think we could taste these for you. 😅😅😅

👍👍

Fried Green Tomatoes!! Staple at my house!!😋😋 Great video!!💚💚💚

I like to mix cornmeal with the flour. It adds just a little more crunch i think. Thank you for posting this. Love all of your videos!

Actually Fried Green Tomatoes originated in England back in the early 1700's. My Grandfather was from England, fought against Germany in his 20's and used to make this. I always thought that was strange even when he offered to me. He told me that his Grandfather used to eat them as food was scarce. That is as far back as I can see but who knows. Either way I don't care where it originated from I just know that they are one of my favorite meals. Thank you for your videos.

My Mother liked fried ripe tomatoes, I do also.

I'm from Indiana, my mother from Tennessee, these are an Indiana tradition too. Best tomatoes grow in Indiana. I'm in Michigan now, 😢these poor folks don't know what's good. I'm going to fry me some tonight ❤

My mother use to fix these when I was younger especially on Saturday mornings with 🥓 eggs and toast. When I got married I introduced to my husband and he loved as well.And I'm from the North.

I love fried green tomatoes! I also preserve them by canning them and they are a delicious meal in January lol. Sprinkle on some Parmesan cheese! Delicious!

Excellent 👍 years ago I rented a movie and they were making these in the movie. The recipe came with the movie, I still have it. Thanks for the memories

👍👍👍

Omg delicious looking!!!!…that looks so yummy❤

Tom if you will slice your tomatoes and pIace them on a cookie sheet... salt them and let them sit for a while it pulls some of the liquid from the tomatoes. Then do your breading They fry much better. And the salt soaks in the tomatoe instead of outside the tomatoe.

Its ok i like mine half red and half green! Lol. Just a little on the sweet side! Yum yum. If you put them in the egg then flour then egg then flour again it makes the coating double thick. Takes a little longer to cook but the tomatoes come out so crisp and good! It's southern! Yum!

Scrumptious! Little Ranch Dressing and you have something out of this world good!

Original cooked green tomatos are from judea where they used matzo coating and roasted them :)

👍👍👍👍

Love fried green tomatoes, although I haven't made them in a while. Watching your video and reading the comments reminded me of a recipe I haven't made in years. Green tomato cake. My comments written on the page of my recipe reminded me of how delicious it is. Too bad I've had a hard time this year trying to find green tomatoes!

They look really good. Fried green tomatoes are a favorite of mine but I use cornmeal. I've never used flour
