I get excited when I see a cast iron skillet filled with oil because I know a world of great flavors are soon to follow. Those tomatoes had my mouth watering. I usually wait until the fall before cooking them. I try to get as many red ones from the season then any that won't make it get used as fried green tomatoes. Makes the delicacy much more special. I also use many parts of the plant such as stems and leaves which are edible provided they are steamed or boiled which neutralizes the toxins. I usually add a healthy handful to soups. The flavour is just as the plants smells.
This was really interesting to me because we don't have fried green tomatoes in the UK - in fact I'd never heard of them until the film Fried Green Tomatoes At The Whistle Stop Cafe came out. I cook courgettes (which you know as zucchini), just like this though. I love your videos, they've opened up a whole new world to me.
Thanks for sharing another great recipe, you guys! Sometimes, I make these then put a big spoonful of grits on each one with a couple of fried shrimp or fried oysters, to top it all off. .I loooooooove fried green tomatoes. Glad your weather has been nice. My daughter lives in Monroe, says it's been beautiful there, as well. Have a great weekend🤗
I also fry red tomatoes but I make sure they have some firmness to them. with my fried red tomatoes I first bread them with white flour, give them a good egg washing, and use a mixture of Italian bread crumbs , flour and parmesan cheese as the last breading then fry those suckers up. It's really good. I just made some fried green tomatoes to have with my pinto beans. P.S. yours look Devine. Thanks for all you guys do. Love y'all
Save me a slice , I love the recipe ! You can sure tell Calvin has done this a time or two as he is shaking on the ingredients . Can't wait till we can try this , Keep up the good Calvin and Marie !
This looks soooo good! I have your poor mans stew in the crockpot right now and have written down lots of dessert recipes to try. Im just having fun going thru your videos, im a new subscriber.
The stew was really good and my husband liked it too. He said it was a keeper. Looking forward to trying some other recipes. Hope you have a great evening.
Yeahhh.....great job Calvin ! Don`t like sugar in my fried green tomatoes and no sugar in my grits ! Southern all the way ! Normally....the "snowbirds" like sugar in their food but not iced tea. I do like my Southern sweet tea.....yum yum.
This was a wonderful video. Calvin you and Marie look like a very special couple. It was a joy to watch you making this recipe. The only thing that would make it better would be a sample to taste. I haven’t been able to make this recipe. You make it look so easy. I have a few green tomatoes in my garden. I can pick them tomorrow and hopefully we’ll be eating them with our supper. Thanks again for this recipe and being able to see you and your lovely wife Marie make them. Good bye from Utah
Thanks very much Sheila, I see that you found our channel. We hope that you enjoy it. We also have a lot more than just cooking. Have a fantastic week, Calvin and Marie
Thanks for watching. Yes they are delicious, we love them and cook some every year when the green tomatoes get big enough. Have a fantastic week, Calvin and Marie
We fry yellow and green tomatoes. I usage a simple flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, pepper, almond milk, and egg mix. It’s great for those with lactose intolerance issues. I never hear people talk about yellow tomatoes. My daddy started growing ‘em because they were lower in sodium. He was the only one in our family, besides me, that has a love for tomatoes!!! Great job!!! Definitely subscribing!!!
I didn't have even one fried green tomato all summer (2023) Going back and catching some videos done before I found you two. Glad you are still makng wonderful videos in spite of your health issues. ❤🙏
I know it's 2 years past, but I have done the red ripe tomatoes and they taste just like the green ones. But Calvin being a trucker you'll know what I'm talking about when I say get the cold storage style of red ripe tomatoes. They are harder and fry a lot better. I'm an ex trucker myself and hauled many of the cold storage tomatoes.
Y'all we are going to try this when ours get bigger. Looks real good. We do our okra like that but never tried this with ours tomatoes.Maybe another week or two, we will have some big enough to fry. Y'all have a Blessed Day Friends! Justin
Still watching the episode, but I am glad you said that I could try a not-as-ripe tomato, because my cherry tomatoes are the only green ones I have, and I had to go buy some on-the-vine kind at Safeway. I couldn’t handle not having tomatoes! So I am going to try my least ripe tomato and I will update you!
Thanks for watching and commenting. That is a great idea to add to the tomatoes. Some people like to add hot seasonings to them, but we don't. Have a fantastic week, Calvin and Marie
Few things in this world better than a fried green tomato sandwich. I love freezing them and on a cold winter day enjoying a sandwich. I love a 50/50 mix of flour and cornmeal. Great video Calvin & Marie.
Thanks for watching Jim. Fried green tomato sandwich is so good. We have made them a lot of different ways. They are so good anyway we make them. We do okra the same way. Yummy !!! Have a fantastic week, Calvin and Marie
Going back into your archives slightly. We love fried green tomatoes. I used to make green tomato pie, tastes a lot like apple, similar spices. My husband had a cancer on the top of his ear about 4 years ago. He had a piece taken out and alls well. He spends a lot of time outside and has started to wear hats with a brim. That's one of the things I love about the excess of the veg. garden, allows you to experiment with recipes and if they don't turn out well, mistakes are cheaper. lol Take Care, Marie & Calvin Deb
Hi calvin this is something I tried for first time last season and couldn't believe how nice they were as its not common over here but I love them . Stay safe Bill and Val
We just slice them in half and bake them for a few minutes in the oven or we usually use our toaster oven at 350 degrees until they look roasted to your taste.
Thanks for watching. I do have my way of frying green tomatoes. When I have some extra time I will write the recipe down and post it on the video. Have a fantastic week, Calvin and Marie
Thanks very much Kat Blue, I appreciate it. They call it a surgery but they don't have to put me asleep. It is outpatient so I will be back home tomorrow evening. They said for me to rest and take it easy for a week. Marie will have a hard time making me not work lol !!. We are praying that your treatments are still helping you. Have a fantastic week, Calvin and Marie
@@SouthernCountryLiving Awwww.... you and Marie are so sweet. Just rest, listen to the doctors and let Marie handle things for a bit! She will take care of you and make you some healing meals, I'm sure! Hugs to both of you.

Looks good! Great recipe and keep the hair- makes you look like Roy Orbison and there's nothing wrong with that.
Thank you 😋
How do you know that the tomato is right? Can they be too green.?
When they are full size, they are ready
Hi Calvin an Marie
How do you roast the small tomatoes? ❤
We just slice them in half and bake them for a few minutes in the oven or we usually use our toaster oven at 350 degrees until they look roasted to your taste.
@@SouthernCountryLiving
👍❤️
is this recipe available ?
Thanks for watching. I do have my way of frying green tomatoes. When I have some extra time I will write the recipe down and post it on the video.
Have a fantastic week,

People like them are the reason why I moved down south.
Thanks very much
Do it, do it, with roasting the cherry tomatoes 🍅 I love those tommy toe tomatoes 🍅
Thanks, yes we had roasted cherry tomatoes with our meal today.
Have a fantastic week,

Good luck with your procedure, Calvin. Sending healing light and love.
Thanks very much Kat Blue, I appreciate it. They call it a surgery but they don't have to put me asleep. It is outpatient so I will be back home tomorrow evening. They said for me to rest and take it easy for a week. Marie will have a hard time making me not work lol !!.
