Edible Wednesdays: Fried Green Tomato

I am excited to try a fried green tomato BLT this summer...sounds so delicious. Here is how you would do the Tomato part: 

Ingredients
green tomatoes
eggs
fresh mint and chives
lemon
panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
flour
paprika
garlic powder
salt & pepper
Method
1. Whisk 2 eggs. Season with pepper and finely chopped mint and chives.
2. Pour flour into a bowl, season flour with salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder and set aside.
3. Pour panko bread crumbs into a bowl and set aside.
4. Cut green, un-ripe tomatoes into 1/4 inch thick slices. Pat dry.
5. Dredge in flour, shake off excess.
6. Coat both sides with egg mixture then into the panko!
7. Fry in very hot oil until crispy and golden on both sides. Drain on paper towel.
8. Salt generously with kosher salt.
9. Serve with lemon wedges.
10. You can hold the fried tomatoes in a 200 degree oven on a rack for about 30 minutes.
