Fried Green Tomatoes

I spotted some juicy looking green tomatoes at the Farmers' Market and hurriedly purchased a few with Fried Green Tomatoes in mind. Here's the result.

After a visit to the new Dinosaur BBQ in Park Slope this Summer (review coming soon) and tasting Fried Green Tomatoes for the first time, I was so hooked that I had to try and make them home. During a Saturday morning run I spotted some pretty, juicy looking green tomatoes at the Farmers’ Market and hurriedly purchased a few with Fried Green Tomatoes in mind. I whipped up a batch that night and they were perfection! Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. These are perfect to serve for game day or to enjoy as weekend comfort food.
