A Southern favorite, we love ours with stone ground grits (never ever eat instant grits) and gumbo.

Ingredients:

4 green tomatoes, sliced into 1/2" thick slices
1 cup flour
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup pecans, ground finely
1 cup cornmeal
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper, ground
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper, ground

1 cup olive oil

Directions:

Pat each tomato slice dry with paper towels. Mix buttermilk and beaten egg. Add salt, cayenne, and pepper to flour. Mix pecans with cornmeal. Place flour, buttermilk/eggs, and pecan/cornmeal mixture in 3 separate bowls and coat each tomato slice in flour, then buttermilk mixture, then pecans/cornmeal... Heat oil over medium-high heat in a cast iron skillet or deep frying pan until shimmering and fry for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
