Southern-style fried green tomatoes are a crisp, tangy, and boldly savory appetizer. Sliced unripe tomatoes that are dredged in flour and cornmeal before being skillet-fried to buttery-brown perfection. You can also fry up red tomatoes with this recipe but make sure they are not overripe or they will be mushy. Thank you All Recipes
