🍘 How To Make Bobby Flay Fried Green Tomatoes

1. In a small bowl, whisk the flour with the water until it’s completely combined. Sprinkle with pepper, salt, and hot sauce. Put the cornmeal on platters and add salt and pepper.
2. Use paper towels to pat the tomatoes dry. Heat one inch of oil in a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.
3. Put salt and pepper on the tomatoes and season them on both sides. Dredge each tomato in the batter and set aside any excess.
4. Toss in the cornmeal and then remove any excess. Fry the tomatoes in batches, until they turn a golden brown color.
5. Put some Remoulade Sauce on both sides of the bread. Sprinkle watercress, bacon bits, and tomato slices over one side.
6. Place the second slice of bread on top, sauce side down. Do it again to get 4 sandwiches.

Remoulade Sauce:

1. Whip the egg yolks, lemon juice, and vinegar until they become pale. Pour the canola oil in slowly until it blends in. Add salt and pepper to taste.
2. Add the cornichons, thyme, mustard, and salt and pepper, and whisk to combine. Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to blend.

💭 Recipe Tips

• Dry Tomatoes Thoroughly: Pat the green tomato slices dry with paper towels before coating them. This helps the batter adhere better and ensures a crispier texture after frying.
• Maintain Oil Temperature: Heat the canola oil to medium-high heat until it shimmers. Fry the tomatoes in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can lower the oil temperature and result in soggy tomatoes.
• Seasoning: Season the tomatoes generously with salt and pepper before coating them in the batter and cornmeal. This enhances the flavor profile of the dish.
• Prepare Remoulade Sauce in Advance: The remoulade sauce can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for at least an hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together for a more delicious sauce.
