Sweet Grass is a new restaurant that opened up down the street. We of course had to pop in and try it out. We ordered fried green tomatoes for an appetizer and was blown away. I immediately had to come home and try to recreate this dish. Here is what I came up with. All I can say is OMG. Not to toot my own horn, but this is a dish I can get behind. Delish.
I did not measure anything in this dish. This is a rough guess as to how much of each ingredient I used.
3 medium green tomatoes sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 cup flour with
1 teaspoon cayenne powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
minced garlic for sprinkling after frying
2 eggs beaten with a splash of milk
1 container of Buttermilk dressing.
a few Basil leaves chopped
Dredge the tomato slices in the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture then into the Panko bread crumbs. Fry on med to med high four a couple minutes on each side until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel and sprinkle with the minced garlic while they are hot. Dress with corn salsa and serve with Buttermilk Basil dressing. I just threw chopped basil into the store bought buttermilk dressing.
Corn salsa garnish
1 small bunch flat leaf parsley chopped
2 ears of corn cut from the cob
1/2 of a large red pepper, or maybe 1 small red pepper diced
1 small red tomato seeded and diced
1 to 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
A few Basil leaves diced
I wanted fresh corn, but the store did not have any so i used the prepackaged mini cobs. I just kept them in the package and nuked them for a couple minutes. In the future I will use fresh like I wanted to and roast the corn first. Anyhow mix all the ingredients in a small bowl and let stand while you prepare the tomatoes.
