  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp. worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp. black pepper

PREP:

Tomato Directions:

After slicing tomatoes, heavily salt and pepper both sides. After that, sprinkle a little sugar on either side to both cut bitterness and amplify the natural flavor of the green tomatoes. Allow tomatoes to rest on a baking pan lined with parchment paper for a few minutes. In three separate bowls, set up a dipping station. From left to right and in order of use: all-purpose flour, the eggs whisked with the water, and cornmeal. Cover each tomato slice with all-purpose flour, fully coat in the egg + water mixture, and coat liberally with cornmeal. Repeat for each slice. Lastly, fry in olive oil.

Sauce Directions:

Stir together all ingredients, minus the vodka. Starting with 1 tbsp, add in the vodka to taste.
