Killer Fried Green Tomatoes! - January 27th, 2005 at 07:11 PM
I've been trying to perfect a recipe for years and tryed them using the Japanese Panko bread crumbs this year. Bingo! I felt like I'd won the lottery... They come out fluffly light and crispy....these bead crumbs are a Godsend!
You'll need...
a few firm green tomatoes
1 cup of flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp. pepper
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 cup Panko bread crumbs
1 tblsp. sugar
Vegetable oil for frying
Slice tomatoes 1/4" thick and soak them in salted ice water in the fridge, 2 hours. Take them out and drain, dry on paper towels.
Heat 1/2" vegetable oil in a cast iron skillet.
Get three bowls out. Put flour, salt and pepper in one. Put 2 beaten eggs and milk in the second one. Put Panko bread crumbs and sugar in the third one. Dip each slice in flour lightly, then egg wash, then coat generously with the crumbs. Fry in oil until golden and crisp.
Here is an online source for the crumbs, if you can't find them in your area. They are amazing!
