Living in Florida, nothing says “Southern” like fried green tomatoes. The funny thing is… I remember growing up on an Ohio farm in the storybook town of Troy with my Mom making these every tomato season as if it were a Northern tradition. Word would spread throughout the day that she were going to fry tomatoes that night, and neighbor kids from all up the hill would visit and snack on these tasty delights as if it were a celebration. In a way, it was a celebration… a celebration of the tomato!
To make these tasty treats, all you need are a few ingredients and a garlic aioli sauce for slathering.
