Buttermilk Fried Green Tomatoes With A Crispy Cornmeal Crust

"If you’ve never made fried green tomatoes at home, this is the recipe to start with. A buttermilk dip and a seasoned cornmeal and panko coating fry up in a cast iron skillet to a crust that’s crispy, golden, and full of flavor. Ready in about 30 minutes with ingredients you likely already have. Most fried green tomatoes recipes get the coating wrong, either too thick and doughy or too thin to stay crisp once they cool. This recipe solves that with a three-part coating of flour, cornmeal, and panko that fries up light and crunchy in a cast iron skillet. The butter and oil combination in the skillet adds a richness you don’t get from frying in oil alone."
