Fried Green Tomatoes With Red Pepper Aioli [Vegan] – One Green Planet

For the Red Pepper Aioli:

1. Make the aioli first so it has time to chill in the refrigerator. Add all ingredients to a food processor or blender and mix until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.

For the Fried Green Tomatoes:

1. Cut the tomatoes into ½ inch slices. Season with salt and pepper and let sit for a few minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
2. In a shallow bowl, add vinegar to the almond milk and let sit for a few minutes. This creates “buttermilk.”
3. Add water to the ground flaxseed and mix into a loose paste. This will be your binder (and your Omega-3’s). Add this to the buttermilk.
4. Heat the oil in a large pan or skillet.
5. Combine the cornmeal, the flour and the seasoning in a shallow bowl or on a plate.
6. Dip the tomato slices into the buttermilk/flaxseed mixture and shake off the excess. Dredge the tomato in the flour/cornmeal mixture until it is well covered. Shake off the excess.
7. Fry until golden brown on both sides. It should take about 3 minutes on each side.
8. When you remove the tomatoes from the oil, place them on a plate lined with towel paper. Sprinkle a bit of kosher salt on them and then move them to a cooling rack so they stay crispy.
9. Serve immediately with dipping sauce.
