Ingredients
- 2 Green Tomatoes
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoons coconut milk, unsweetened
- 1 cup of paleo flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp Onion powder
- 1/4 C coconut oil
1 serving of Minimalist Baker Chipotle Aioli or,
Traditional Chipotle Aioli
- 1/2 C Mayo
- 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- juice of 1/2 a lime (optional)
- 1 tsp honey
- salt + pepper
Instructions
- In a heavy bottom skillet, heat up the 1/4 C of coconut oil on medium.
- Season the flour mixture: in a shallow dish, add the paleo flour, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder; stir.
- In a separate shallow dish, whip the eggs and coconut milk till smooth― no striations.
- Cut the green tomatoes into 1/2 in pieces.
- Dredge: the tomato slices in the egg mixture follow by the flour mixture. Gently press the seasoned flour into both sides of the tomato.
- Fry the tomatoes in the flour mixture till golden brown ~approx. 3 minutes each side. If it browns too quickly, turn the heat down.
- Remove the fried tomato slices to a paper towel lined plate.
- Prepare the Chipotle Sauce from Minimalist baker or place all the ingredients for my Traditional Chipotle Aioli in a blender and pulse till smooth.
- Serve hot!
Notes
*We are skipping the traditional cornmeal breading and using this blend of almond flour, coconut flour, and tapioca flour. If you would like to skip the paleo flour, you could use regular flour and almond meal
