Best 9 Fried Green Tomatoes With Bacon Rémoulade Recipes

FRIED GREEN TOMATOES WITH REMOULADE

Steps:

• For the remoulade: In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayo, shallots, scallions, mustard, cayenne, hot sauce, lemon juice, Worcestershire, a pinch of salt, and lemon zest. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and hot sauce if needed and reserve. Makes 1½ cups.
• Fry the tomatoes: Bring cast-iron skillet to medium-high heat. Season the green tomato slices with salt. Set aside on a rack fitted over a rimmed baking sheet, which will later become the cooling rack after frying. Find 3 similarly shaped shallow baking dishes. In the first, add flour. In the second, pour the eggs. In the third, add cornmeal. We are creating an assembling line of dredging. One by one, flour a tomato slice on both sides, dunk in the egg mixture, and then dredge in the cornmeal. As you finish each tomato, stack them on a cutting board.When the skillet has preheated, add the oil and heat to shimmering. Fry the green tomatoes until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Assemble the dish: When the tomatoes are crispy, golden brown, and heated through, place them on the cooling rack. Dollop a tablespoon of remoulade on a serving plate and arrange the fried green tomatoes over the sauce. Garnish with some arugula, more remoulade and serve immediately. Nobody wants soggy tomatoes!

FRIED GREEN TOMATOES WITH BACON RéMOULADE

Steps:

• Make the bacon rémoulade: In a large nonstick skillet over high heat, cook bacon until crisp, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Reserve the bacon grease in the skillet.
• In a small bowl, combine pickled tomatoes and chives. Crumble in bacon. In a medium bowl, combine egg yolk, 1 tablespoon green tomato pickling liquid (or lemon juice), 1 teaspoon cold water and 1/4 teaspoon salt. While whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in neutral oil and olive oil until sauce begins to thicken into mayonnaise. Add more pickling liquid to taste.
• Finely chop 1/2 cup of the pickled-tomato-and-bacon relish and mix it into mayonnaise to make rémoulade. Save remaining relish for serving.
• Prepare the tomatoes: Sprinkle 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper over green tomatoes and set aside. Put flour in a shallow bowl, the eggs in another shallow bowl, and the cornmeal in a third. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Add tomatoes to flour one or two at a time. Coat all over, shake off any excess and transfer to eggs. Dip both sides in eggs, shake off any excess and transfer to cornmeal. Press tomatoes into cornmeal until well coated on both sides, and then transfer to baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tomatoes.
• Heat the nonstick skillet with the bacon grease over medium heat. Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels or a paper bag. When grease is hot but not smoking, add tomatoes to pan in batches of 3 to 4. Cook 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Transfer to lined baking sheet and sprinkle with salt while still hot. Repeat with remaining tomatoes. Serve fried tomatoes with rémoulade, bacon and pickled green tomato relish and hot sauce.

• *RAW EGG WARNING
• Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs due to the risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served use shell eggs that have been treated to destroy Salmonella, by pasteurization or another approved method.

FRIED GREEN TOMATO BLT

Steps:

• The month of August as a kid meant three things to me: my summer vacation was about to come to a halt, my birthday was only a month away, and my family would venture out to North Carolina to visit my grandparents on their farm. Whenever we would get to the farm in the mid-afternoon my grandmother would have a platter of deviled eggs, pimento cheese with soda crackers, and BLT's with the summer's best tomatoes on the simple sandwich. Since those days past, the simple BLT sandwich has always been a source of comfort to me. When I had the opportunity to run a kitchen and bring out these same memories of comfort through food to my guests, but with a twist, I couldn't pass it up. This is where the Green Tomato BLT came from.
• For the remoulade: Whisk the shallots, garlic, mustard, vinegar, paprika, cayenne, lemon juice, horseradish, and salt and pepper, to taste. Whisk in the olive oil. Stir in the celery, parsley, and scallion. Reserve 1 tablespoon for the sandwich, and store the rest in the refrigerator for later use.
• For the fried tomatoes: Combine the buttermilk, salt, pepper, and egg in a bowl. Combine the flour with the Creole seasoning and garlic powder in another bowl.
• Heat the oil in a 7-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat until the oil reaches approximately 150 degrees F on a candy thermometer.
• Dredge the green tomato slices in the flour mix, then the egg wash, and then the flour mix again and set aside.
• Once the oil is at the correct temperature, slowly place the green tomato slices in the oil. (Make sure the oil is no higher than half way up your pan.) Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side. Once golden on both sides, lift the tomatoes out and place on a plate that has been lined with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper.
• To assemble: Place the butter in a pan and melt over medium-high heat. Toast both sides of the bread.
• Slather both sides of the bread with reserved remoulade. Then layer with fried green tomatoes, Roma tomatoes, bacon, and arugula and top with the remaining slice of bread.
• Slice in half and enjoy.
