Fried Green Tomatoes isn't just an awesome 80s movie that I highly recommend y'all watch; it is also a delicious Southern side item. You can sometimes catch them in local southern restaurants, but I find this side item difficult to pin down regularly in my area. There are only one or two restaurants I know of near us that serves them in the summer. They are possibly not as popular as I like to think they are, but they are worth the try! I used to HATE tomatoes, but I have always been able to snack on fried green tomatoes, so highly recommend no matter how much you love or hate tomatoes. I am going to pass on a traditional fried green tomatoes recipe but also provide a more GI-friendly (Glycemic Index Friendly) option for an easy fried green tomatoes recipe without cornmeal, which is just as delicious!
