FRIED GREEN TOMATO SANDWICHES

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

3/4 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
3 scallions, minced
2 teaspoons green hot sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt
6 medium green tomatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
Kosher salt
3 tablespoons pickling spice
1 handful fresh dill (leaves and stems)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon chili powder
4 large eggs
Peanut oil, for frying
12 slices brioche or potato bread Yellow and red tomatoes, sliced, for topping

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, parsley, scallions, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and salt to taste in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate.
  • Slice the green tomatoes 1/4 inch thick and place in a large bowl. Combine the vinegar, sugar and 1 tablespoon salt in a saucepan. Put the pickling spice in a tea ball or tie in a square of cheesecloth with twine; add to the saucepan along with the dill. Simmer over medium heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Add 2 cups cold water and pour over the green tomatoes. Let sit at room temperature 1 hour, 30 minutes.
  • Whisk the flour, cornmeal, chili powder and 1 teaspoon salt in a shallow dish. Whisk the eggs, 2 tablespoons water and 1 teaspoon salt in another shallow dish. Heat about 1 inch of peanut oil in a large skillet over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees F.
  • Drain the green tomatoes and pat dry with a paper towel. Working in batches, dredge the green tomato slices in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg mixture and dredge again in the flour mixture. Fry in the hot oil, turning once, until the crust is golden, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.
  • Spread each slice of bread with some of the sauce. Layer the fried green tomatoes and the yellow and red tomatoes evenly among 6 bread slices. Cover with the remaining bread slices.

FRIED GREEN TOMATO AND BACON SANDWICH



Fried Green Tomato and Bacon Sandwich image

People beg me to make these sandwiches. It's a great way to use extra tomatoes from your garden. Some grocery stores carry green tomatoes year round. This is my very favorite sandwich ever. The fresh mozzarella cheese can be substituted with regular mozzarella but it won't be a yummy! You can also use Tempeh Bacon for a vegetarian version (not vegan).

Tips:

  • Choose firm and ripe green tomatoes for frying. Unripe tomatoes will be too sour, and overripe tomatoes will be too soft.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the tomatoes evenly. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Dredge the tomatoes in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. This will help them get crispy.
  • Fry the tomatoes in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the tomatoes will not cook evenly.
  • Drain the tomatoes on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  • Top the tomatoes with your favorite toppings, such as marinara sauce, cheese, and basil.
