- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
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.
- Dark beer like Lager or Ale is best. If not, you can have a light beer or Amber beer is also okay.
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.
