Fried Green Tomatoes and Tabasco Remoulade

Step 1

To make the sauce, combine all ingredients in a food processor or mix by hand. Chill for at least 1 hour.

Step 2

Prepare your assembly line by combining the flour and garlic powder in one bowl, the eggs and milk in another, then the breadcrumbs, cornmeal, cayenne, and paprika in a final bowl. Lightly beat the eggs and milk.

Step 3

Heat a heavy bottom skillet or cast iron skillet with about 1/2 to 1 inch oil over medium-high. Alternatively, heat a deep fryer to 350 F.

Step 4

Slice the tomatoes about 1/4 inch thick, then season with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Lightly dredge them in the flour, then dip in the egg mixture, then coat in breadcrumbs.

Step 6

Without crowding the pan, fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate but serve warm.
