Place slices on clean paper towel and put more over tomatoes and press to get out more moisture. Heat 1/4 to 1/2 inch of oil to 360°F to 375°F. Mix flour with Cajun seasoning in one bowl. Place buttermilk in second bowl. Mix cornmeal and panko in third bowl. One at a time place tomato slices in flour mixture. Shake off excess flour. Place in buttermilk and let excess drip off. Coat in cornmeal mixture. Fry in batches for 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Let drain on paper towels. Makes 6 servings. |
