Ingredients

• 4 medium green tomatoes
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup cornmeal
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups vegetable oil
• 1 cup remoulade sauce
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon capers
• 2 tablespoons green onions

Instructions

1. 1

   Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices. Sprinkle both sides with salt and let them sit for 15 minutes to draw out moisture.

2. 2

   In a shallow dish, combine the buttermilk with lemon juice. In another dish, mix together the flour, cornmeal, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and remaining salt.

3. 3

   Rinse the tomatoes to remove excess salt and pat them dry with paper towels.

4. 4

   Dip each tomato slice into the buttermilk mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour-cornmeal mixture, ensuring they are well coated.

5. 5

   In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

6. 6

   Carefully add the coated tomato slices to the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

7. 7

   Once cooked, transfer the fried tomatoes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

8. 8

   In a small bowl, combine the remoulade sauce, Dijon mustard, capers, and chopped green onions. Mix well.

9. 9

   Serve the fried green tomatoes hot with the remoulade sauce on the side for dipping.
