Fried Green Tomatoes Recipe with Honey Chipotle Dipping Sauce
(Pin it to Pinterest)

This is a delicious southern fried favorite-with a twist. Traditionally, I put hot sauce or a little horseradish in the wash and dip to give these a little kick. I was looking for a way to use a left over can of chipotles in adobo that I had purchased for another recipe, I created this and I now have a new favorite. These make a great side or appetizer. The following recipe is good for about 2 large green tomatoes. Plus I like to “double dip” mine to make sure they have a nice thick crunchy coating.

Breading Ingredients:

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 tsp. pepper
  • 1 tsp. garlic salt

Wash Ingredients:

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp adobo sauce

Honey Chipotle Dipping Sauce Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • chipotles in adobo sauce (use sauce only)
  • 1 tsp. Lemon juice
  1. In one shallow container for dipping combine all breading ingredients thoroughly.
  2. In a second shallow container whisk all ingredients for wash until well combined.
  3. Slice tomatoes to between ¼ “ to ½ ” thickness.
  4. Dredge tomatoes into breading, egg wash, then breading again.
  5. Heat vegetable or canola oil over medium high heat in a shallow saucepan.
  6. Gently lay breaded tomato slices into hot oil, take care not to crowd pan, fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  7. For Honey Chipotle Dipping Sauce whisk all ingredients together until thoroughly mixed to distribute all flavors evenly, make ahead of time and pop in fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to marry.

This yummy popcorn is a fantastic winter treat! Perfect with hot cocoa for a snack while driving around looking at lights, in your pj’s watching Christmas movies, or while decorating the Christmas tree. It would be fabulous packaged up to pass out to carolers, teachers, friends, family, kids, or as a thoughtful homemade gift for your mailman or stylist. If peppermint puts you in the mood for Christmas this combo will put it over the top! Vary the ingredients to create a combo that you and your family will love, use dark or milk chocolate instead of or in addition to white chocolate for a really decadent treat.

Ingredients:

  • 10 cups popped popcorn
  • 10 oz. White chocolate
  • 1 tsp. Peppermint extract
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • ¼ cup crushed peppermints or candy canes
  • 1 tsp. Coconut or canola oil

Directions:

  1. Crush candy canes. You can chop by hand but you will get better, and more consistent results from a small chopper or food processor.
  2. Pop your popcorn via your preferred method; stove top, air popped or microwave.
  3. Melt chocolate in a double boiler or in microwave, stirring frequently to make it smooth, stir in oil to create a very soft and smooth consistency. Add peppermint extract.

  5. Spread popcorn out on a cookie sheet lined with foil and allow chocolate to set. If your impatient (like me) you can put it in the fridge to set quicker.
  6. When serving popcorn you can sprinkle a bit more crushed peppermint on top for added crunch, flavor, and decoration.
