Fried Green Tomatoes (The Food, Not The Movie)



Yes, Fried Green Tomatoes was a popular movie, but here in Tonia's Kitchen, the taste is the star.  And if you're following Chef Ed Hahn's script, this dish will win the Academy Award!  Chef Ed heads up the kitchen at Paul's Pastry Shop and the Mardi Gras Cafe in Picayune, Mississippi.  He tells Tonia they fry up those tomatoes in Canola Oil, coated with corn meal, secret seasonings and corn flour they use to fry fish. Ed says what makes these tomatoes truly terrific is a jump lump crabmeat topping, with Hollandaise Sauce.  He says it's worth every calorie.  We tend to agree!  To find out more, visit www.paulspastry.com
