Shortcut Fried Green Tomatoes
Report
Last weekend at the market my daughters and I were picking through the lovely stock of red tomatoes when my 9-year-old saw the green ones and begged me to make fried green tomatoes. Okay, twist my arm. :) I came up with a quick way to cook these on the stovetop for a tasty snack ... and included a yummy dipping sauce!

Ingredients
For the Dipping Sauce
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
For the Tomatoes
- 2 green tomatoes weighing 12-14 ounces total
- 2/3 cup whole-grain cornmeal finely ground
- ghee (aka clarified butter) or other high-temperature cooking oil
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- To make the dipping sauce, whisk together the sour cream, lemon juice, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Thinly slice the green tomatoes (about 1/4-inch thick) and dredge both sides in the cornmeal.
- Heat a thin layer of clarified butter (ghee) in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Cook in batches until tender when pierced with a fork and both sides are golden brown, a couple minutes per side. To prevent the skillet from getting dry, add more ghee when necessary. Wipe out the skillet in-between batches (otherwise the crumbs will burn).
- Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate, season with salt and pepper, and serve warm with dipping sauce.
Notes
- We recommend organic ingredients when feasible.
