FRIED GREEN TOMATOES WITH REMOULADE

Fried Green Tomatoes with Remoulade image

The green tomato is an anchor of Southern cooking. I like to fry them until they're brilliantly crispy and golden brown. It's so simple and straightforward, just like Southern food should be.

Ingredients

1 cup mayonnaise
2 Shallots, minced
6 Scallions, thinly sliced, white and pale green parts
2 tbsps whole grain Creole-style mustard
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon Louisiana-style hot sauce (Crystal)
1 tbsp Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, (omit for vegetarian remoulade)
kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, grated
12 Slices of green tomato, 1/3 of an inch thick
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 Eggs, beaten with 1/4 cup cold water
1 cup fine yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Arugula, for serving

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!

Ingredients

1 pound fresh jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over for shells and cartilage
3/4 cup panko
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped chives
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
Zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Softened unsalted butter, for the baking sheet
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons parsley leaves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons capers, chopped
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Pinch cayenne pepper
1 clove garlic, grated
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Kosher salt
Vegetable oil, for frying
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Kosher salt
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups panko
3 small green tomatoes, sliced into 9 rounds (see Cook's Note)
One 10-ounce package sweet slider buns
Store-bought pickled red onions, for serving
Bibb lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces, for serving

Steps:

For the crab cakes: Gently fold together the crabmeat, panko, mayonnaise, chives, Dijon, seafood seasoning, lemon zest and juice, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl. Refrigerate the crab mixture for 30 minutes to firm up; this allows the panko to absorb some of the liquid, helping the crab cakes bind together.
For the remoulade: Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise, parsley, Dijon, capers, hot sauce, Worcestershire, paprika, cayenne, garlic, lemon juice and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl and mix until combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
For the crab cakes: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet with butter.
Scoop 1/3-cup mounds of the crab mixture, pat into 1-inch-thick patties and place on the prepared baking sheet. You should have 9 patties. Bake until golden around the edges and heated through, about 205 minutes.
For the fried green tomatoes: Meanwhile, heat 1/2 inch of oil in a large Dutch oven or skillet over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Line a plate with paper towels or set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet.
Whisk together the flour, cayenne, garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a shallow dish. Whisk the eggs in another shallow dish. Put the panko in a third shallow dish. Dip each tomato slice in the flour, then egg, then panko.
Fry the green tomatoes, flipping, until golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to the prepared plate or rack.
For serving: Split the slider buns. Put a fried green tomato on each bottom bun. Spoon some remoulade over each, add a crab cake and top with pickled red onions and Bibb lettuce. Close the sliders with the top buns.
