Fried Green Tomato Blt With Remoulade Sauce Recipes

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!

Steps:

• For the tomatoes: Heat the oil in a deep frying pan or cast iron skillet to 350 degrees F. Beat the eggs, milk, and hot sauce in a shallow dish. Put the flour and breadcrumbs in 2 separate shallow dishes. Dip the tomato slices in the flour, then the egg wash, and then the breadcrumbs. Transfer to the oil and fry until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels and keep warm until ready to serve.
• For the shrimp: Bring the water to a boil and add the crab boil, onions, lemons, and hot sauce. Stir and add the shrimp. Boil until the shrimp turn pink. Peel.
• For the sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, mustard, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce.
• To serve: Line a plate with shredded lettuce. Add 2 slices fried green tomatoes. Top each tomato with 1 boiled shrimp. Fill a squeeze bottle with the remoulade sauce and drizzle decoratively.

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.
