Southern Goodness
It's Foodie Friday. See Designs by Gollum for a lot of great recipes!
I saw a recipe for a bacon, lettuce and fried green tomato recipe. It looked yummy. Of, course, I wanted to put my own spin on it.
Okay, so first you make the remoulade.
Remoulade:
Use in amounts that suit your tastes
- Zatarains creole mustard
- Mayonnaise
- Red chili sauce (not much)
- Horseradish
- Worcestershire sauce (a dash)
- Garlic
Mix together. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Then, you fry the bacon.
Then, you fry the green tomatoes.
- 4 to 6 green tomatoes
- salt and pepper
- Cajun seasoning
- cornmeal
- bacon grease or vegetable oil
Slice the tomatoes into 1/4 – 1/2-inch slices. Salt and pepper them to taste. Mix meal and Cajun seasoning. Dip the tomatoes in meal and fry in hot grease or oil about 3 minutes or until golden on bottom. Gently turn and fry the other side.
While the tomatoes are frying, toast some bread. This can be whatever you like. I lean towards an English muffin for this.
Then, you put it all together.
Now, that is some Southern Goodness!
Today’s Lagniappe: How to choose a green tomato
When choosing tomatoes for this recipe choose a nice,
really firm, tomato. Choose a tomato that is very light green
in color and sounds almost crispy when sliced.

I grew up on fried green tomatoes. They are something that I think you have to develop a taste for….but once you get that taste you never forget it.
Your recipe sounds great!!

My husband will VERY MUCH appreciate your recipe for remoulade sauce! He loves it on everything, but has become suspicious of anything we’ve found since moving from Louisiana. Thanks!

My mouth is watering… I also grew up on fried green tomatoes and I LOVE them. Haven’t had any for a couple of years now, since I haven’t had a garden.

I can’t even imagine how this tastes… I’m afraid I don’t think I’ve ever had Remoulade sauce. What else is it good on?
