Fried Green Tomatoes With Bread And Butter Pickle Rémoulade Recipes

CHEF JOHN'S FRIED GREEN TOMATOES

Steps:

• Place tomato slices onto a rack over a paper towel. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and let slices stand for 15 minutes for the salt to draw out extra juices.
• Mix cornmeal and bread crumbs together in a bowl; stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste. Beat eggs with milk in a separate bowl. Place flour into a third bowl.
• Pat tomato slices dry with paper towels. Lay slices, one at a time, into flour; flip to coat both sides and let slices rest in the flour for about 30 seconds. Remove each slice and dip in egg mixture, then into cornmeal mixture, coating both sides of each slice thoroughly. Spread crumbs onto all sides and into tomato crevices with a fork. Rest tomatoes on rack for 10 minutes to let coating set.
• Combine sweet pickle relish, mayonnaise, and hot sauce in a small bowl to make the remoulade sauce.
• Place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat; heat vegetable oil with butter until butter melts, bubbles, and makes a sizzling sound. Fry tomatoes in the hot butter-oil mixture until tomato slices are slightly soft and coating is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Use a spatula and a fork to flip.
• Transfer fried green tomatoes to a serving platter and serve with remoulade sauce.

FRIED GREEN TOMATOES WITH REMOULADE

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!

FRIED GREEN TOMATOES WITH REMOULADE SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the remoulade sauce:.
• Combine mayonnaise with chopped egg, capers, pickle, parsley, and hot sauce. Taste for seasoning and refrigerate.
• Dredge each tomato slice in flour that has been mixed with celery salt and garlic powder, if using, then eggs, then bread crumbs, pressing the bread crumbs so they'll stick.
• Fry in small batches over low-medium heat(325*F.), until they feel tender when tested with a fork.
• Season with salt, and serve immediately with the remoulade sauce. Enjoy!

BREAD AND BUTTER PICKLED GREEN TOMATOES

Steps:

• Wash tomatoes thoroughly, cut away any blemishes or bad spots, and cut into 1/4" thick slices.
• Combine 2 gallons water and pickling lime in a large glass or plastic bowl; not metal.
• Add tomatoes, and soak for 24 hours, mixing a couple times.
• Drain tomatoes, cover with fresh water, and soak 4 hours longer, changing water every 1/2 hour, then rinse and drain well.
• In a large nonreactive pot, combine vinegar and sugar, and bring to a boil.
• While the mixture is heating, combine all spices in a double layer of rinsed cheesecloth, and tie cheesecloth into a pouch with string.
• Place spice-pouch in boiling syrup, and continue to boil for 15 minutes.
• Remove from heat, and add sliced tomatoes.
• Stir gently, cover with a clean towel, and let stand overnight, stirring gently a couple of times if you think of it.
• In the morning, bring the syrup and tomatoes to a simmer, gently mixing occasionally, for about 30 minutes or until tomatoes are translucent.
• Remove and discard spice pouch.
• Meanwhile sterilize 6 1-pint canning jars and lids according to manufacturers directions.
• Layer hot tomatoes in hot sterilized jars to about 1/2" below the rim.
• Pour hot syrup over top, covering tomatoes by 1/4" and leaving 1/4" of head space.
• Slide a plastic chopstick or wooden skewer along the insides of the jars to release air bubbles, and tap each jar lightly on counter a couple of times to release more.
• Wipe the mouth of each jar with a clean damp cloth, place a hot sterilized lid on each jar, and screw on bands firmly.
• Process in a boiling-water bath for 10 minutes, starting timing after water returns to a boil.
• Cool, making sure that lids have sealed.
• Jars that leak during processing or don’t seal should be stored in the refrigerator and used within a couple of weeks.
• Store sealed jars at room temperature if desired.
• Pickles can be served after 24 hours but are better if allowed to mellow in a cool, dry place for 2-3 weeks before using.
