Well, the last of my garden’s tomatoes were taken from their vines. It had to be done. They were no longer growing and the short days of Fall had made it impossible for them to turn red. I gathered about 12 of them in all and although this event was a bit sad, I also found it exciting that I was about to make a southern fried treat- Fried Green Tomatoes.
Fried Green Tomatoes is one of the South’s trademark dishes. The recipe varies the farther south you go, but here I have taken it to the vegan arena. Typically dipped in milk, I used soy milk and the aioli I made as a dipping sauce was created with. You can create any number of seasoned flours to dredge them in as well, say for instance a smoky thyme infused breading, which is what I did.
Straight from the vine, these guys were a little smaller than tennis balls.
I made 1/2 inch thick slices.
Set them aside.
I combined 1/2 cup of soy flour, 1/2 cup of cornmeal and a teaspoon each of the other spices.
I used soy milk creamer.
Heat the oil before you begin coating the tomatoes, but watch the heat. You don’t want it smoking hot or your coating will burn.
Coat the tomatoes in the soy milk first….
Then dredge the tomatoes in the flour mixture until thoroughly coated.
Carefully place them in the hot oil, browning each side about 1 minute each.
Place them on a paper towel to drain the excess oil.
Make an aioli of soy sour cream, garlic, lemon zest and chives and enjoy ya’ll!
