What's not to love about fried green tomatoes?  Slight tart, tremendously juicy and just the right amount of crunch.  In honor of TGI Fryday, we are serving up the BLG, a bacon lettuce and fried green tomato sandwich featuring a roasted garlic aioli.



Fried Green Tomatoes
4 green, unripe tomatoes
1 cup flour in a bowl
2 eggs, beaten in a bowl
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup unseasoned breadcrumbs
2 teaspoons Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning

Mix bread crumbs, cornmeal and seasoning in a bowl.  Slice tomatoes into 1/4-1/2 inch rounds.  Dip slices into flour, then egg, then breading mixture.  Shake off excess.  Meanwhile, heat 1/2 inch of bacon grease (or favorite frying oil) in a cast iron skillet over medium heat.  Fry tomatoes, flipping after  approximately 2 minutes when golden brown on the bottom.  Continue browning, remove and drain on paper towels.
