Malzemeler

4 (1/2 inch) slices green tomato

1 teaspoon salt

¾ cup cornmeal

¾ cup bread crumbs

1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste

freshly ground black pepper to taste

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

Yöntemler

Arrange tomato slices on a rack set over paper towels; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Set aside until excess moisture drawn out, about 15 minutes.

Combine cornmeal and bread crumbs in a shallow bowl; stir in remaining ½ teaspoon salt, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Beat eggs and milk together in a separate bowl; place flour in a third bowl.

Pat tomato slices dry with paper towels. Coat slices, one at a time, on both sides in flour, letting rest in flour for about 30 seconds. Dip in egg mixture, then dredge in cornmeal mixture, coating both sides, pressing into crevices with a fork. Place tomatoes on rack to let coating set, about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine sweet pickle relish, mayonnaise, and hot sauce in a small bowl. Set aside.

Heat oil with butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until butter melts, bubbles, and sizzles. Add tomatoes carefully to hot butter-oil mixture; fry until slightly soft and golden brown, using a spatula and a fork to flip, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Transfer fried green tomatoes to a serving platter; serve with remoulade sauce.
