First things first, make the fresh tomato salsa- starting this first allows the flavors to meld. Combine tomatoes (I used one each red, orange and yellow tomatoes to add color to the dish) one red onion and one white onion, fresh basil, olive oil, salt, pepper, and powdered garlic.
Slice the green tomato in thick slices.
For the coating combine equal parts flour and course ground cornmeal (one cup of each will do 4-6 tomatoes) with powdered garlic, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. To batter the tomatoes first give them a buttermilk bath than toss them in the flour/cornmeal mixture.
For the cooking demo at the market I used an electric skillet. At home I use a cast iron skillet. Doesn't matter what you choose to fry them in, you could even use a non stick skillet if that is all you have. Add vegetable oil to the pan and place on high heat. Once oil is hot fry tomatoes for about one minute per side. You want to quick fry your tomatoes on high heat to ensure your crust gets crispy and your tomatoes do not get soggy.
When your tomatoes are cooked on both sides remove them from the pan and place on paper towels to drain the excess oil. To assemble, spread roasted red pepper and garlic fromage blac on one fried green tomato then top with a second fried green tomato. Top the second tomato with the fresh tomato salsa. Enjoy!
