Fried Green Tomato BLT Sandwich
Fried Green Tomato BLT Sandwich
In a cast iron skillet, cook the bacon over medium-low for 10 minutes, flipping the bacon at the 5 minute mark. Transfer the bacon to a bed of paper towels to drain. Turn the heat to low to keep the grease hot for the frying of the green tomatoes. Gather four small bowls. Add the milk and a generous pinch of salt to one bowl. In another bowl, mix together the flour and 2 teaspoons of salt. In the third bowl, beat the egg. In the final bowl, mix together the cornmeal, cayenne pepper and 2 teaspoons of salt. Take one tomato slice and start with dipping it into the milk. Transfer it to the flour bowl, being sure to coat it on both sides. Move it to the next bowl with the beaten egg, then transfer the tomato to the cornmeal mixture, being sure it’s thoroughly coated. Place the breaded tomato in the skillet and turn the heat to medium. Fry for 2-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Transfer to a bed of paper towels to drain. Repeat the dipping and frying process. Give the bread slices a heavy swipe of mayonnaise, arrange a little bed of butter lettuce, add some pieces of bacon and finally, top it all off with a few fried green tomatoes.

Sprinkle the tomato slices with the salt and pepper; set aside. Combine the cornmeal and paprika in a shallow bowl. In another bowl, beat the eggs. Cover the bottom of a heavy skillet with 1/2 inch of oil, then place it over medium-high heat. Coat the tomato slices in the egg, then dredge them in the cornmeal mixture. Fry as many tomatoes as fit comfortably in the pan until nicely browned, about 2 minutes a side. Transfer them to a paper towel-lined platter. Repeat until all the tomatoes are cooked.

Salsas
Mexican Green Tomato Salsa
This is a relatively easy salsa to make except for one little thing: you will need to core the tomatoes (the centers of green tomatoes are often just a little too firm to work in a green tomato salsa recipe). You can use an apple corer or do it yourself with a sharp paring knife instead, whichever works best for you. Dice the tomatoes, onions, and peppers and chop the cilantro and garlic before adding all of the ingredients to a food processor. Pulse several times until the salsa is just slightly chunky, refrigerate for a few hours, and serve.
Green Tomato and Nectarine Salsa
Wash and chop or mince all ingredients. Place in medium sized bowl and toss with lime juice. Let sit for at least an hour to let flavors blend and mellow. Serve with quinoa chips or tortilla chips.
Nectarine and Corn Salsa over Grilled Fish or Chicken
Grill corn and cut from cob. Combine all ingredients together in a bowl. Cover and chill for 2 hours before serving. Spoon salsa mixture over chicken or fish.
