Fried Green Tomatoes

Growing up in our family owned grocery store, I had a unique opportunity to learn about different fruits and vegetables. I saw many customers purchasing the green tomatoes we had on display and often wondered what they would be making with them and so I asked! I learned about fried green tomatoes and had to try it myself. 


FRIED GREEN TOMATO RECIPE

I gathered the ingredients and set out to make this traditionally Southern Dish.

Since that time in the grocery store, over 15 years ago, I have made this dish as a side and appetizer during the summer months. I am lucky enough to have a mother with a green thumb and so green tomatoes are readily available 😀

 The dipping sauce can be adjusted to include flavors you like. No fresh ground horseradish? You can use sriracha or another hot sauce. I also love making an herb dipping sauce by folding in fresh soft herbs like chive, oregano and mint! The sky’s the limit 😀
