When firm, tart green tomatoes are coated in bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese then pan-fried, they become amazingly crispy on the outside, and warm and juicy on the inside. If green tomatoes are difficult to find, fresh tomatillos make an excellent substitute.

Fried Green Tomatoes

While fried green tomatoes are great, using the tomatillos as a substitute will not give you anything remotely resembling green tomatoes. It is not to say it isn't good, green tomatillos are exquisite in their own right, but not to compare texturally or taste to green tomatoes. Tomatillos are mushy and have a fantastic tart granny smith apple taste to them. Good, but not to compare. It is like saying use an orange instead of a lime. Both good, but not the same recipe. Or beef to chicken. Okay, you get the idea.
