\n Fried Green Tomato Sandwich with Avocado slices and Fresh Salsa.<\/div>\n

We happened upon some fresh green tomatoes several weeks ago, and they were such a large size that we decided to whip a few fried batches, and they were some good eating. In fact, alone they were great with just a touch of Dijon mustard or Remoulade sauce. The variations for utilizing these southern favorites are endless; in fact memories of the Fried Green Tomato and Crawfish Remoulade<\/em> appetizer at Muriel\u2019s Restaurant<\/a> in New Orleans creep into my reflection now. <\/p>\n

This sandwich is the result of having these ingredients on hand; it was not a planned meal, just something thrown together with what we had in the pantry and refrigerator. They say necessity is the mother of invention, and we sure do like this creation! We hope you will too! <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1<\/td>\nCup<\/td>\nMilk<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1<\/td>\nTsp<\/td>\nWorcestershire sauce<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u00bd<\/td>\nTsp<\/td>\nCrystal hot sauce<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u00be <\/td>\nCup<\/td>\nCorn meal<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u00be <\/td>\nCup<\/td>\nCorn flour<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1 \u00bd <\/td>\nCup<\/td>\nAll purpose flour<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1<\/td>\nTsp<\/td>\nSea salt, divided<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1<\/td>\nTsp<\/td>\nWhite pepper, divided<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2<\/td>\nTbsp<\/td>\nOlive, peanut, or vegetable oil<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2<\/td>\nWhole<\/td>\nAvocados<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1<\/td>\nCup<\/td>\nFresh salsa (Click to see recipe<\/a>)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
4<\/td>\nEach<\/td>\nSandwich Buns<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
4<\/td>\nLeaves<\/td>\nGreen leaf lettuce<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2<\/td>\nSlices<\/td>\nRed onion rings, cut into halves<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Procedure Steps:<\/strong> <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1.<\/td>\nSlice the green tomato into \u00bc\u201d pieces, or at least four even slices, and set aside.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2.<\/td>\nIn a large shallow container, combine the beaten egg, milk, Worcestershire sauce, and Crystal hot sauce making the egg wash, and set aside. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3.<\/td>\nCombine the corn meal and corn flour in another large shallow container and season with \u00bd teaspoon of sea salt and \u00bd teaspoon of the white pepper. In a third large shallow container add the all purpose flour and combine with the remaining \u00bd teaspoon of sea salt and \u00bd teaspoon of white pepper. The breading station is now ready: flour, egg wash, corn flour\/meal mix. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
4.<\/td>\nCut each avocado in half, and then remove the core and peel the two avocado halves, and then cut each half into four even slices, or eight slices per avocado. You should end up with sixteen slices total; these will be portioned out four slices per sandwich. Have the buns ready, the green leaf lettuce cleaned and portioned and the red onion rings cut and ready.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
5.<\/td>\nHeat the oil in a large saut\u00e9 pan. While the oil is heating in the pan take one tomato slice and dredge it in the all-purpose flour getting a light coating, then dip the tomato slice into the egg wash for an even coating, then drip any excess egg wash and then dredge the tomato slice into the corn meal\/flour mixture. Then carefully and without removing any of the coating, place the tomato slice into the hot oil. Continue for all four slices, and saut\u00e9 until browned on both sides, or about 4 to 5 minutes per side. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
6.<\/td>\nWhile the tomato slices are saut\u00e9ing set up the four sandwiches with the buns, lettuce leaves, avocado slices, and red onion slices. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

To Serve: <\/strong>When the fried green tomatoes are done, place one on top of the bottom bun and then add a dollop (2 tablespoons) of the fresh salsa over the fried tomato. Optional:<\/strong> Extra avocado and salsa can be served on the side.
\n Yield: <\/strong>4 sandwiches<\/strong><\/p>\n
