Ingredients
- 150 g (1 cup) plain flour
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 60 ml (¼ cup) buttermilk
- ½ tsp Tabasco
- 165 g (2⅓ cups) packaged breadcrumbs
- 4 large green tomatoes, cut into 1 cm-thick rounds
- vegetable oil, to shallow fry
Instructions
Combine flour and garlic powder in a shallow bowl and season with salt and pepper. Whisk together eggs, buttermilk and Tabasco in a second shallow bowl. Place breadcrumbs into a third shallow bowl.
Dust tomato slices with flour mixture, shake off excess, then dip in the egg mixture and coat in breadcrumbs. Place on a plate.
Heat 2 cm oil in a large, heavy-based frying pan over medium–high heat. Cook tomatoes, in batches, for 2 minutes each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towel and scatter with sea salt to serve.
