Mustard Fried Green Tomatoes

I love fried green tomatoes! Go to your local farmers market or pluck a few early tomatoes off of the vine and try this recipe.  Rather than the traditional version I decided to add Amish Naturals Grainy Mustard for a tangy twist. 

Mustard Fried Green Tomatoes

4-5 Green Tomatoes
1 ½ cups Cornmeal
½ cup Self Rising Flour
¼ tsp Cayenne Pepper
¼ tsp Kosher Salt
¼ tsp Pepper
1 ½ cups Buttermilk
2 Tbsp Amish Naturals Grainy Mustard
Wesson Oil

Slice tomatoes 1/4 -1/2 inch thick.  Combine cornmeal, flour, cayenne, salt and pepper in a shallow dish.  Mix buttermilk and grainy mustard in a separate dish. 

Heat ¼ inch Wesson oil in a medium sauté pan over medium heat.  Dip tomatoes individually in buttermilk mixture then in cornmeal mixture and fry on each side in hot oil until golden brown.

When I prepped this recipe I made Fried Green Tomato BLT’s.  This simple spin on the Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato sandwich is made extra tasty with the fried tomatoes, crisp bibb lettuce and (my favorite) thick sliced slab bacon.  All this was built on a soft kaiser roll with Amish Naturals Grainy Mustard.
