Fried Green Tomato and Feta Salad
As far as tomato salads go, this one is definitely award-winning. Crunchy and creamy, what more could one ask for!
Equipment
- Skillet
- Sharp knife
- kitchen paper
- Serving Platter
Ingredients
- 3 medium size green tomatoes sliced into 1-inch thick rounds
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup (60g) plain all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (60g) panko breadcrumbs
- 1 packet (75g) of arugula
- 1 6oz tub (170g) of cubed feta cheese
- ½ cup (80g) pitted Kalamata olives
- 1 jar (190g) artichoke hearts drained
- 3 tsp seasoned salt
- Balsamic glaze to drizzle
- Sea salt to finish
Instructions
- Set up the breading station by lining up three bowls.
- In the first bowl place the flour and seasoned salt and stir to combine, followed by the eggs in the second bowl and the breadcrumbs in the third bowl.
- Using a wide bottomed pan, tip enough vegetable oil to come up the sides about two inches. Place over a medium/high heat until a breadcrumb sizzles when dropped into the oil.
- Take the slices of green tomatoes and dip them first into the flour to coat all sides, shake off the excess then dip into the egg. Finally dip into the panko breadcrumbs ensuring they are fully coated. Do this to all the slices placing them onto a plate ready to fry.
- Once the oil is hot, gently place the tomatoes into the oil and cook until golden before turning to cook on the other side. I do this in two batches.
- Remove from the oil and set on kitchen paper to drain off any excess oil. Season with sea salt.
- Take a serving platter and place the arugula onto it. Sprinkle the olives throughout and place some of the artichokes around the edges. Sprinkle the cubed feta.
- Place the fried tomatoes onto the arugula and drizzle with the balsamic glaze.
