- Remoulade
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 3 green onions finely sliced
- 1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 1 Tbsp brown or Dijon mustard
- ½ tsp paprika
- A few shakes of hot sauce

- ½ cup cornmeal
- 2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
- ¾ tsp paprika
- ¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ cup bread crumbs or cracker crumbs
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Mix up the remoulade sauce for dipping ahead of time so that the flavors can blend.
- Slice the tomatoes 1/3 to 1/2 inch thick. Discard the ends.
- Whisk the eggs and milk together in a medium-size bowl.
- Place the corn starch onto a pie plate, add the salt, pepper and paprika and mix in.

- Dip tomatoes into flour to coat. Then dip the tomatoes into the milk and egg mixture and finally dredge in the breadcrumbs to completely coat.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1/2 inch of oil.
