Ranchy Fried Green Tomatoes

"A slightly different twist on an old classic. If you like a tarter taste use really green tomatoes. For a bit sweeter and less tart taste use ones that have pinked slightly."

  1. I made this for lunch today, but was disapointed as to how they turned out. While in the middle of preping and frying the tomatoes, I did dredged the tomatoes in an egg/buttermilk mixture first, before coating the tomatoes in the flour/ranch mixture, to improve the texture, plus I also sprinkled some black pepper on both sides of the tomatoes. I thought the ranch dressing mix would give these fried tomatoes a good flavor, but in the end it did not, so to make these a bit more flavorable, I topped the fried tomatoes with a bit of bottled ranch dressing, which made these taste a lot better. One more thing, I would not recommend using tomatoes that are slight pink, as they just end up getting mushy. Nyteglori, I'm sorry I wasn't able to give this recipe a better review.

Married mother of twins. I very seldom ever use recipes as they are written, always modifying and adjusting them. Many times I will take three or four different recipes and come up with a new recipe based on those. <img src="http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e347/Saturn6666/KiwiDutch/3chefstag1.jpg">
