Slice the green tomatoes 1 cm thick.
Salt the slices and let them drain in a colander for 10 minutes.
Whisk the buttermilk and egg in a bowl.
Mix the flour, cornmeal, ground red pepper, and black pepper in a separate bowl.
Dip the tomato slices first in the buttermilk mixture, then in the cornmeal coating.
Heat the vegetable oil in a pan to 175°C.
Fry the tomatoes until both sides turn golden.
Drain off excess oil and serve with remoulade sauce.
💡 Tip: Salting the tomato slices briefly helps the coating cling without becoming watery.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot as an appetizer with remoulade, lemon wedges, and crisp lettuce.
