Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Prepare the Brine: In a large bowl, combine all Brine ingredients and stir until salt and sugar are dissolved.
Soak Tomatoes: Add sliced green tomatoes to the brine and let soak for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
Prepare Dry Coating: In a shallow dish, whisk together all Dry Coating ingredients.
Prepare Remoulade: In a small bowl, combine all Remoulade ingredients. Set aside.
Dredge Tomatoes: Remove tomatoes from brine and pat dry with paper towels. Dredge each tomato slice in the Dry Coating, ensuring it's fully coated.
Fry Tomatoes: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place dredged tomatoes in the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Drain and Serve: Remove fried tomatoes from skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with Remoulade.
