Time 1h50m

Yield 1 sandwich

Number Of Ingredients 26

4 slices applewood smoked bacon
A pinch cayenne pepper
A pinch black pepper
2 firm green tomatoes
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose breading mix
Vegetable oil (amount depends on cooking method)
1 lettuce leaf
1/4 cup melted butter
2 pieces Texas toast
4 tablespoons EATS! Heat 5-Pepper Sauce, recipe follows
1 whole fresh jalapeno
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 cloves raw garlic, minced
11 fresh jalapeno peppers, chopped with seeds, reserve 1 raw for garnish
9 fresh Scotch bonnet peppers, chopped with seeds, reserve 1 raw for garnish
5 fresh ghost chile peppers, chopped with seeds, reserve 1 raw for garnish
5 fresh red Thai peppers, minced, reserve 1 raw for garnish
1 yellow onion, 1/4-inch diced
1 cup Cajun seasoning blend
1 cup cayenne pepper
1 cup crushed red pepper flakes
3 cups extra-hot wing sauce, such as Frank's Red Hot
1 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup lime juice

Steps:

  • Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat to desired doneness. Dust with cayenne pepper and black pepper while cooking. Set aside on paper towels until needed.
  • Slice the green tomatoes 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick. Dip the tomatoes into the buttermilk, and then coat with the breading. Ensure all areas of the tomatoes are covered completely.
  • In a saute pan or deep-fryer, heat the oil to 350 degrees F. Saute or deep-fry the tomatoes until golden brown. Set aside on paper towels until needed.
  • Take the melted butter and spread evenly on both sides of the Texas toast. Brown each side of both pieces on a flat top grill or in a clean saute pan. Brown to desired doneness.
  • Apply the EATS! Heat 5-Pepper Sauce to the toast in a "Z" fashion. Place the lettuce on top of one toast slice, followed by the fried green tomatoes. Place the bacon on the other slice of toast.
  • With your thumbs on the green tomatoes, flip and place on top of the other piece of toast that has bacon on it. With a sharp knife, cut the sandwich on a diagonal.
  • With a sharp knife, cut your jalapeno lengthwise into 2 equal halves. You can use whole jalapenos if desired. Using toothpicks, push through one half jalapeno and place on top of one of the cut sandwich halves. Repeat for the other jalapeno and sandwich half. Serve with your choice of side.
  • Add the olive oil, garlic, 10 habaneros and jalapenos, 8 Scotch bonnets, 4 ghost and Thai chile peppers and the yellow onions to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup each of the Cajun spice, cayenne and crushed red pepper. Cook for 1 minute. Pour the mixture into a blender and puree. Place the puree in the refrigerator to cool, about 1 hour.
  • Once cool, add the remaining 1/2 cup Cajun seasoning, cayenne and crushed red pepper for added flavor. Stir in the wing sauce, vinegar, mayonnaise and lime juice. Add the 1 reserved raw chile pepper of each kind, and stir well.

HOT PEPPER SAUCE



Hot Pepper Sauce image

This hot sauce starts out mild but finishes with a slow, sweet burn. It's a great everyday condiment for eggs, meat, poultry, seafood and as an addition to sauces. While optional, the honey really rounds out the flavor and tames the burn. This sauce will keep for several weeks in a sealed jar in the refrigerator: just keep the top covered with a thin film of oil to prevent discoloration. The heat will increase slightly over time.

Time 30m

Yield 1 1/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 habanero or Scotch bonnet chiles, stemmed and seeded, if desired (use rubber gloves)
2 plum tomatoes, coarsely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed and peeled
1/2 medium yellow onion, coarsely chopped
Kosher salt
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
8 large fresh basil leaves
2 teaspoons honey, optional

Steps:

  • Combine the chiles, tomatoes, garlic, onion and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a blender. Blend on high until smooth. Scrape down the sides and add the olive oil. Blend until very smooth. Add the parsley and basil and blend until small specks of herbs are visible. Stir in the honey if using.
  • Transfer to a medium saucepan and cook over medium-low heat until thickened and darkened by a shade or two, 7 to 8 minutes. Let cool completely. Transfer to a glass jar with a lid. Top with a thin layer of olive and the lid. The sauce will keep for several weeks in the refrigerator, as long as it is covered with oil.
