FRIED GREEN TOMATO BLT (BACON, LETTUCE & TOMATO SANDWICH)

Fried Green Tomato BLT (Bacon, Lettuce & Tomato Sandwich) image

A terrific Southern twist on the classic BLT. The tang and crunch of the fried green tomato gives a wonderful balance to the bacon, lettuce, and mayo. For a crowd, increase the ingredients and put out the cooked bacon, lettuce leaves, and fried green tomatoes separately... and, let everyone build their own sandwiches. Great football fare!!

Ingredients

3 slices green tomatoes
salt and pepper, to taste
3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
3/4 cup canola oil
4 slices thick bacon, crisply cooked
2 -3 lettuce leaves
2 -3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 slices toasted bread (I like wheat or multi-grain, but you use your favorite)

Steps:

Season slices of green tomato with salt and pepper. Dredge in the cornmeal. Heat the oil in a skillet. Fry the tomatoes until crisp and golden on both sides. Remove from pan and place on paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Spread the mayonnaise on the toasted bread (both slices, if you like.) Add the lettuce, the fried green tomatoes and cooked bacon.
Build your sandwich and cut in half.

FRIED GREEN TOMATO BLT SANDWICH

Fried Green Tomato BLT Sandwich image

Fried green tomatoes are one of our all-time favorite summertime indulgences! This sandwich really shows off the tomatoes' flavor by using light panko bread crumbs as a coating. The roasted red pepper mayo is the perfect finishing touch.

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 small green tomatoes
1 c buttermilk
1/2 c panko bread crumbs
1/2 c self rising flour
vegetable oil for frying
salt, red pepper
4 slice bacon (turkey bacon can be used)
1 c lettuce leaves (iceberg or green leaf)
2 Tbsp mayonnaise
2 Tbsp roasted red pepper vinaigrette
4 slice bread (any type)

Steps:

1. Slice green tomatoes. Put in a colander and set in the sink. Sprinkle salt over them and let the excess liquid be drawn out. This should take about 30 minutes. Pour the buttermilk in one bowl. In another bowl, mix together the panko bread crumbs, flour, salt to taste, and red pepper. Heat approximately 1/2 cup vegetable oil in a skillet. Place the tomatoes in the buttermilk, then dredge through the panko mixture. Pan-fry until crispy. Drain on a cooling rack (so they won't get soggy).
2. Meanwhile, mix together roasted red pepper vinaigrette and mayo. Toast bread slices. Assemble sandwich with red pepper mayo, lettuce, bacon (2 slices per sandwich) and tomatoes.
