Fried Green Tomatoes With (amazing) Dipping Sauce

Fried Green Tomatoes

Slice tomatoes into 1/4 inch rounds

Get your assembly line of frying ready!

Whisk egg and buttermilk together in shallow bowl

Put about 1/4 C flour onto plate

To a second plate, put remaining flour, panko, salt, pepper, and paprika-stir together

Stir together ingredients of the dipping sauce and set aside

Add your oil about 1/4 in high in the pan and bring to high heat (about 375 F).

While oil is heating, start dredging your tomatoes

First dip tomato in plain flour, then into the egg mixture, and finally into the panko/flour mix.

Begin to fry a batch when the oil is hot.

Fry for about 2 minutes per side, or until the panko breading is lightly brown. 

Remove tomatoes and set on paper towel-lined plate, salt them as they come out of the oil

Don't stack on top of each other, or they will get soggy.
