I've always loved corn bread, fried green tomatoes, etc... I 'm a southerner!

I read a few days ago where someone substituted pork rinds as a breading in another recipe, so here's what I came up with.

One bag pork rinds
One large green tomato
Two eggs
Heavy cream
Oil - I used coconut oil

-Heat a large skillet (I prefer my grandmothers iron skillet) to medium heat with enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan and then some.
-Slice your tomato in 1/8 to 1/4 slices
-Place the pork rinds in a gallon size ziplock bag and roll over and over with a rolling pin until they are finely ground
-Pour the pork rind crumbs onto a plate and remove the big pieces
-Beat your eggs in a bowl with a little cream and water (your making a hearty egg wash) You don't have to use the cream but it gives it a better consistency and helps everything stick together.
-Dredge each tomato slice in the eggwash, coat each side with pork rinds and place in the skillet.
-Cook a few minutes on each side or until golden brown
-Place on a paper towel to drain and serve with a little salt (I used garlic salt)

Just a guess here....but a large green tomato has about 4 to 5 grams of carbs with one or two grams of fiber. Each slice of fried green tomato is going to give you about two carbs, maybe...

I gotta tell ya, these are some of the best fried green tomatoes I've ever had. Stumbling on the idea to use pork rinds as a breading is going to give me a lot of ideas.
