  • For added flavor, add 2 tablespoons of the smoked meat fat to the oil and stir until blended. The bacon fat will add a delicious, savory taste to the tomatoes.
  • Cut tomatoes. To prevent the tomato slices from crumbling, cut them into 0.5 cm thick slices. Or if you want stronger slices of tomato, cut into 3 slices.
    • If you are afraid that green tomatoes are a bit bitter, sprinkle a little sugar on both sides of the tomato slices. Sugar will alleviate the bitter taste.

  • Mix the tomato dipped mixture. There are many different recipes for making tomato dipping mixes. The most popular recipe is to mix 1/2 cup of fermented dairy butter with 1 egg. Then, mix until the two ingredients are combined.
    • Without butter, you can beat 3 eggs. To add fat, you can add a little milk to the egg.
  • Prepare a crunchy coating. There are many recipes to prepare a crunchy coat for a fried tomato. The most common is to mix ½ cup cornstarch with ¼ cup flour. Then, add 1 teaspoon of salt, teaspoon of pepper. Mix all ingredients well and set aside.
    • If you don't have cornstarch, you can use seasoned breadcrumbs (either Italian or pepper marinated). Or you can grind the cookies yourself (Ritz cookies are best) and put them in a separate bowl. The main purpose is to use this ingredient to make the tomatoes crispy.

  • Pour ¼ cup of flour in a bowl. Place slices of tomatoes in the flour so that both sides are covered with flour. Then, dip the flour-coated tomatoes into the butter-and-egg mixture. Remember to dip the tomato slices later to cover evenly. Finally, dip the tomato slices in the cornstarch mixture or other crunchy ingredients you are using. Make sure the tomatoes are covered with ingredients.
  • Fried tomatoes. Place each slice of tomato in a hot oil pan. Each slice of tomato should have enough space to not stick together when frying. Fry each side for 3 minutes. If the crust turns golden brown, the tomatoes are ripe.

  • Remove the ripe tomatoes from the pan. Use a tool to remove each slice of the tomato. Place the tomatoes on a plate lined with paper towels. The paper towels will absorb the oil so that the tomatoes are crispy.
  • Choose medium-sized, firm-bodied green tomatoes. Choose tomatoes that are similar to traditional fried tomatoes. Cut the eggplant into even slices, 3-4 slices is best.
  • Prepare the dough. Mix 1 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of cornstarch, and teaspoon of baking powder in a large bowl. You can add herbs, pepper and salt if you like. Pour half a can of stout and ½ cup cold water into the dry mixture and mix well.
    • Dark beer like Lager or Ale is best. If not, you can have a light beer or Amber beer is also okay.
  • Dip each slice of tomato into a paste. Make sure the two sides of the tomato slice are evenly coated with the flour. Since the batter is relatively loose and slippery, soak the tomatoes and make sure the tomatoes are covered with flour.
  • Fried tomatoes. The dough-dipped tomatoes should be placed right into the pan so that the dough does not drip down. Fry each side of the tomato slice for 3 minutes or until the mulch turns golden brown.
  • Pick up the tomatoes that have turned golden brown. Put the tomatoes on a plate or pan with a paper towel available. Paper towels will absorb the excess oil to make the tomatoes more crispy.
  • Present on the table and enjoy. Deep fried green tomatoes topped with a paste and beer will taste better with a Ranch sauce or Marinara sauce. advertisement
  • Advice

    • You can try frying other vegetables like ripe tomatoes, zucchini or pickled foods.
    • Be careful when slicing tomatoes. Raw tomatoes will be harder and harder to cut than ripe tomatoes.
