Spicy Remoulade

  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • 4-5 shakes ground red pepper to taste

Other Sandwich Components

  • 8 slices applewood smoked bacon
  • 2-3 leaves Romaine hearts
  • 8 slices sourdough bread
  • 2 ct. avocados
  • mayonnaise to spread

Fried Green Tomatoes

  • 2 ct. green tomatos large
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 1 ct. egg
  • 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1 tsp hot sauce
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • vegetable oil for frying

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Start by mixing all of the remoulade sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Cover, and let sit in the refrigerator until the sandwiches are ready to assemble.
  • Slice the green tomatoes about ¼ inch thick. Lay down on a paper towel-lined pan, top with another paper towel, and let them dry for at least 20 minutes.
  • While the tomatoes are drying, cook the bacon to your preference. I like to bake mine in the oven at 390°F for about 10 minutes. Be sure to pat dry your bacon!
  • Prepare the rest of your ingredients: Wash and slice the Romaine lettuce, toast the sourdough, and mash the avocados. Season the avocado mash with a bit of salt + pepper.
  • Your tomatoes should now be dry! In a shallow bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, 1 tsp. Cajun seasoning, and the hot sauce.
  • In another shallow bowl, stir together the flour, cornmeal, 1 tsp. Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper.
  • Dip the tomatoes in the egg wash, then the dry mix, and repeat to double-coat them.
  • Let the tomatoes rest while you heat up the oil in a cast-iron skillet to about 375°F. You want enough oil to barely cover the tomatoes.
  • Fry the tomatoes for 5-6 minutes until golden brown, flipping them halfway through. Be sure to not overcrowd your skillet; I suggest frying 3 or 4 at a time.
  • Assemble the sandwiches: bread, avocado mash, fried green tomatoes, remoulade sauce, bacon, lettuce, mayo, and bread. This order makes the perfect bite! Enjoy!
