Fried Green Tomatoes with Goat Cheese Basil Dipping Sauce

July 7, 2011 By Julie 34 Comments

A short while back I dropped a truly Southern dish of Stewed Tomatoes and Okra onto the blog.  While chatting up a windstorm about my new fangled Southern self, I mentioned an upcoming Fried Green Tomato recipe.  Well get ready, because Southern cooking has never tasted better than these charmers right here.
