Mawmaw's Crispy Fried Green Tomatoes
Ingredients
  • 1 quart ice water, or as needed
  • 4 firm green tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch slices
  • 1 cup canola oil, or as needed
  • 2 cups self-rising cornmeal
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • salt to taste
Instructions
1
Submerge a generous amount of ice water into a substantial container and introduce the tomatoes; allow them to soften for 5 minutes.
2
Simultaneously, warm a moderate amount of oil in a large cooking vessel over a relatively low heat setting.
3
Combine cornmeal and flour in a moderate-sized container. Separate the tomatoes from the ice water, one at a time, and lightly coat them with the cornmeal mixture; remove any surplus.
4
Prepare the tomatoes in batches, cooking them in the hot oil until their edges are golden brown, approximately 4 minutes per side. Utilize a perforated utensil to transfer the cooked tomatoes to a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle them lightly with salt and serve immediately.
