Equipment

  • 1 food processor
  • 1 large saute pan

Ingredients

Fried Green Tomatoes

  • 3 green tomatoes, sliced ¼ inch thick
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoon parmesan cheese
  • 2 eggs, whisked
  • ¼ olive oil

Garlic Basil Aioli

  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 handful basil, minced or ground
  • ¼ mayonaisse
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Combine breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, paprika, and parmesan. Dip the tomatoes in the egg and then dredge them in breadcrumbs.
  • Combine garlic, basil, mayo, olive oil, and salt in a food process and process until completely mixed.
  • Add olive oil to the saute pan on medium heat. Once the olive oil is hot, add the tomatoes and fry each side for approximately 3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and sprinkle with salt. Serve with the aioli!

Notes

  1. You can bread the tomatoes a day in advance to save time. Placing them in the refrigerator will actually make them slightly less moist and lead to a crispier fry.
