Maybe but they might not be firm enough. Green tomatoes are quite firm and sour. When they fry they soften up a bit but still hold their shape well. I think it's worth the experiment! Could be delicious.
luv, luv, luv green fried tomatoes…nom,nom,nom
Yes, you can use tomatillos instead of green tomatoes in the recipe. Be sure to remove the husks and wash the tomatillos well to remove the slightly sticky natural coating. Let us know how the substitution works for you. Thank you!
I tried it and it was delicious!
mmmmmm Ricos .,.Very Delicious.,.¡¡¡¡
would red tomatoes work as well ?
Great question! Unfortunately, red tomatoes would not work well for this recipe. One of the reasons to use green tomatoes is that they are under ripe, which makes them nice and sturdy to hold up well during frying. Red tomatoes are likely to fall apart. If you do choose to make this with red tomatoes, look for nice and firm tomatoes.
very nice vid,, also the movie " fried green tomatoes " is amazing, you've should watch it 🙂

Those are tomatillos, not tomatoes.
Classic Southern FGT recipe, but I grew up in the north and my Grandmother always made them with a mixture of bread crumbs, salt, pepper, oregano, and Parmesan cheese for the final coating. The saltiness of the cheese combined with the tartness of the tomato and the crunch from the bread crumbs would always send me into sensory overload! LOVE me some FGT! They are also awesome on a BLT with peppered bacon of course!
Yummy so good with ranch
aauummm am going tu cook some i love those fried green tomatoes. thank you so much for the recipe and the video!!!
I love fried green tomatoes!!
I've had good luck using those hard grocery store 'ripe' tomatoes…you know, the ones that taste like cardboard when 'fresh'. well, they fry well and taste far far better fried. Just lay the slices on paper towels, sprinkle with a bit of salt and leave them set a bit to draw out excess moisture, then pat them dry and proceed. It works very well.
You have to use green tomatoes because they are hard. Red tomatoes are too soft.
We always use Italian herb breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese mixed with some flour, salt and pepper which we use for the initial dusting and the second thicker coating.
In the video, those look like tomatillos, which do not taste like normal tomatoes.
Great Video..
I enjoyed it.
It was Quick and Easy!
I used flour, salt and egbeat and they turned out like breaded green tomatoes. It was pretty good.
It really annoyed me that it wasn't coated completely
Thanks so much for this video. I have not only recently just tasted fried green tomatoes, I've just started to learn to prepare them also. They are so delicious. Thanks for the extra tips like the butter milk. I will be trying that.
I love the fact that your spider has seen many a deep fry sessions.
Love this recipe! And yes you CAN use a firm hard red tomato (it's still unripe)..also I add a shot of tobasco or hot sauce 1/2 to 1 tsp..wonderful..never had the dipping sauce though..didn't really need it but it would be great with ranch dressing if you prefer..love 'em just by themselves ! Making them tonight !
Is it possible to use a deep fryer and have the same outcome?
I like this cuz I have a lot tomatoes 🍅 from May garden red yellow green tks
just yummy & delicious recipe….wanna prepare this very soon….thank you so much for sharing this….
This is good. But you should make sure to dry the tomatoes with a bit of salt and a paper towel before dipping them in flour
perfection
In the bread crumbs (panko) I did add a little garlic powder. I wondered how corn meal would go, too. Thank you.
I've been looking for these all over in Northern California, but no one makes them. There is on place in Los Gatos, but nobody has recommended getting them there.
NEVER discard the stem ends, thats just a waste of good tomato. Just cut the stem part out of the tomato top, bread and fry it up just like the rest. DELICIOUS 😋
If one likes soggy tomatoes, then go ahead and drain on a paper towel. I like crisp fried green tomatoes, so I drain them on a rack.
Better cooled on a rack. Paper towels will cause them to be soggy.
do you serve them hot or cold?
an awful waste of eggs and milk for so few tomatoes unless of course you did you use it all. This over abundance of ingredients in a world ravaged by forests being cleared etc. to grow too much food for the so called lst world is shown here by over use and discarding what is left over, gone are those day, wake up!
What temp is the frying oil, please?
What could you use as a dipping sauce ?
…in the South…we don't use egg, milk or breadcrumbs…just tomatoes, flour, cornmeal, salt/pepper and hot sauce…
These are great garnished with some crumbled goats cheese.
What if I don't have cornmeal? Can I contue with this recipe?
Why tongs???? Not a fan!
The answer to all three is fried green tomatoes.
don't make them that thick… 1/4" is perfect..,
That camera just doesn't cut it.
Use a fork.
This needed seasoning 😊 , other than salt and pepper . It looked bland.
Amazing music! And at the perfect volume!
Instead of black pepper I use lemon pepper
