Maybe it’s the fact that they’re so incredibly bad for my cholesterol, or because it’s a bit messy. Either way, there are certain fried dishes that I just can’t pass up. Let me fill you in on a little secret. I am OBSESSED with fried green tomatoes. Fried green tomatoes are hands down an Alabama superstar, and have forever been immortalized by the great author Fannie Flag in her novel by the same name. The recipe I use is as old as the hills and one that came from both of my grandmothers, and their mothers before that. It’s as easy as walking into the pantry and pulling together just a few staples already on hand. Go ahead, indulge yourself in a dish of fried goodness that’s equally full of flavor and heritage.
