Green Tomato Fritters are a lot easier to make than traditional fried tomatoes. You can serve them with your favorite condiment (lemon aioli, roasted pepper salsa, cilantro spread, chipotle dip, etc.). Or make a Bacon, Lettuce & Fried Tomato sandwich!
Makes about 12 fritters.

Ingredients
1/2cupcornmeal
1/2cupall-purpose flour
1teaspoonkosher salt
3/4teaspoonbaking powder
3/4cupbuttermilk
1large egg
1teaspoonfreshly ground black pepper
1cupfinely diced green tomatoes1/4" or smaller
1/2cupcorn kernelsfresh or frozen
1/4oniondiced small
Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix the cornmeal, flour, salt, pepper, and baking powder.
In a small bowl, beat the buttermilk and egg together and then add it to the dry ingredients and mix well. Add the green tomatoes, corn, and onion and mix well.
Put about ¼-inch of oil in a large skillet and heat it over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add heaping spoonfuls of the batter to the pan, pressing them with the back of the spoon to flatten a bit if necessary. You’ll have to cook the fritters in several batches, 3 or 4 to a pan depending on the size of your pan.
Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until nicely browned on the bottom and you see holes formed on the top. Flip over and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more, until the second side is browned. Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate.
