Recipe #102 -Fried Green Tomatoes with Vidalia Relish
Another recipe that takes nine-million pots, paper towels, bowls, and assorted whisks, and measuring cups. Phew!
The difficulty level for this one was relatively low but I did struggle with two things: slicing the tomatoes and getting them breaded. The recipe called for 1/3 inch thick tomatoes but, without a slicing machine, I can’t really slice tomatoes with such precision. As a result, my slices might have been too fat. Next, breading them wasn’t so fun since tomatoes are slippery by nature and I was trying, and failing, to find a good way to do it without my fingers getting in the way. In the end, frying is a pretty forgiving method of cooking and everything worked out fine.
The Vidalia relish recipe was WAY more involved then the tomatoes, even though it’s just a condiment. So many ingredients and spices I’ve never used before (turmeric, celery seed, mustard powder). It’s definitely yummy with a very powerful mustard zing to it, but I also definitely made way too much. If you attempt it, I’d recommend halving the recipe for sure.
