Fried Green Tomatoes

Green tomatoes were another of my farmers market purchases on Saturday. Tonight I served them to my in-laws for dinner with hamburgers. I have made this dish several times, but these were the best yet. I think the key is to not touch them once you drop them in the oil. I used homemade breadcrumbs, but panko would work as well. On the side, we had Easy Rémoulade. Enjoy!
