Being born and raised in the south I have picked green tomatoes with my mom in a field in a town called Ruskin, Florida as a child growing up. I can still to this day smell the aroma of my mothers fried green tomatoes throughout the house.

This was a great recipe. This was my first time frying tomatoes, and they were perfect.

I had the pleasure of meeting Miss Paula and her boys at the restaurant in 2003....We had pictures taken togather, her cookbooks signed and laughed and compared our new wedding rings and joked about our Little Old Sailor Men!!! I have been in Savannah recently (Christmas Eve day) and the beautiful city leaves me breathless. If you go; take the Paula Deen tour of the town if it still is operating, enjoy the sights; sounds, smells and tastes of this wonderful place! I feel like I have a sister who is alot like me here! Vacationed on Tybee Ialand and discovered Uncle Bubba's Oyster House and feasted on the wonderful charcoal roasted garlic-butter oysters,and the kitties roaming outside. Paula; you truly are blessed....if you ever are in western Pennsylvania I'd love to have you at my home in Johnstown Pennsylvania!

My 29 year old daughter and I ate your Fried Green Tomatoes and Vidalia Relish at your restaurant and I have made the tomates and the relish every year since. My daughter always says Mom, you need to make Paula's tomatoes and relish this year before the green tomatoes are all gone. We love love the recipe. To keep my vilalia onions longer, I do as my Daddy always did with apples and onions, I wrap them in newspaper and store them in my fridge in the crisper. They will last alot longer especially since we cannot get vidalia onions only once a year. My family calls me Judy Deen since I am always cooking and especially trying recipes of Paula's.

Hi Liz, Yes, this is the same recipe that is used in The Lady & Sons.

This relish is outstanding!!! I made it with the Fried Green Tomatoes and it was devoured! I had a friend over from the south, Kentucky, and he was amazed. I am making it again today and serving it with corn fritters!!!

By Carla Elbert on August 13, 2011

Is this the same as the lady and sons recipe?! I had Thierry fried green tomatoes with a dipping sauce there that was AMAZING! And I want to know if it's the sam, would love to make it!

I agree with Glenna, I'm not a fan of breading. I use 1/2 flour, 1/2 corn meal and salt and pepper. Fry until golden on both sides. i think they have more tomato flavor.

I love your fried green tomatoes, but when trying them at the buffet in Tunica's Harrahs location, they seem to be dredged in mostly corn meal instead of flour. Which is correct?

By bennie massey on July 29, 2011

Just the recipe we needed! Green tomatoes galore! Delicious! The Vidalia onion relish put it over the top! Thank you! You are the best!

By Walter Ford on July 27, 2011

This is a winner, really like this one. It is hard to find them around here though, you need to be conected with a farmer but i don't get around much for that. Keep them coming because i use a lot of your cooking recipes. Thank You Faye SnyderClearfield, Pa.

By Faye Snyder on July 27, 2011
