FRIED GREEN TOMATO PARMIGIANA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350. Fill the bottom of a cast iron skillet with about ¼ inch of bacon grease and then mix in the vegetable oil to equal ¼ inch. Set stove top just below medium and allow the grease to become hot. If you use a thermometer - 350 degrees. If you splash a drop of water into the pan, you will know the grease is hot when it begins to sputter loudly as you drop the water in. While the oil heats complete steps 2-5.
• Rinse off and then slice your tomato in ¼ inch slices and set aside
• Place ¼ cup flour in a dish large enough for a tomato slice and set aside(I use a cereal bowl size bowl for each of these).
• Mix egg, milk and vinegar together in a separate bowl (large enough for a tomato slice) and set aside.
• Mix ¼ cup flour, cornmeal, salt and pepper together in a bowl. Set these bowls up in a row on your cabinet as follows: flour only, egg mix, flour/cornmeal mix
• When oil is ready, first coat both sides of a slice of tomato in the plain flour, then dredge in the egg mix coating both sides well, then dip into the cornmeal/flour mix - coating both sides well. Then place into the hot oil. Do not move the slices around - allow to fry for 2-3 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel lined plate and apply salt/pepper to taste. You can cook more than once slice at a time - but do not crowd and do not allow the slices to touch while cooking. Turn very gently so as not to disturb the coating.
• Drain on a paper towel and allow to cool slightly before adding to the baking dish for the Parm.
• In a sauce pot, melt the butter over medium heat until warm. Add the onion and cook until soft - 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic. Cook for 2 minutes more.
• Add the tomato sauce, paste and the chipotle pepper. Stir frequently and allow to come to a simmer. Add salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for at least 5 minutes. add the heavy cream. Allow to come to temperature..
• In a 2 quart baking dish, splash about ¼ cup of the tomato sauce on the bottom of the dish and then layer a single layer of the fried green tomatoes. Top with ½ cup of mozzarella cheese.
• Then add another layer of the fried green tomato. Continues to alternate the cheese with the tomato until the dish is 1 inch from the top.
• Add whatever shredded mozzarella you have left and the cover with provolone and the parmesan cheese.
• Bake in the center of the oven at 350 for 45 minutes or until cheese is browned and the sauce is bubbly.

FRIED GREEN TOMATO PARMESAN

Steps:

• Pour the Green Tomato Breading into a shallow bowl or pie plate, and set aside.
• Core the tomatoes, and slice into 4 to 5 slices each.
• Heat the oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge the tomato slices in the breading on both sides. (If desired, peel the tomatoes and dredge them on the sides as well.) When the oil is hot, slice two to three tomato slices at a time into the oil and fry a couple minutes on each side, or until golden brown. With tongs, remove the fried green tomato slices to a rack or paper towels to drain. Repeat with the remaining tomatoes.
• Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Place half of the tomato slices in a 2-quart casserole to cover the bottom of the dish. Or, use the same skillet used for frying, drain the oil and wipe it clean with paper towels. Cover the tomato slices with half of the pasta sauce. Add ½ to 1 cup mozzarella cheese. Repeat with the rest of the tomato slices, then the rest of the pasta sauce, then another ½ to 1 cup mozzarella. Top with Parmesan. Place in the oven, and bake until bubbly and heated through, about 25 to 30 minutes. Place under the broiler, if desired, to melt the cheese on top. Remove from the oven, and garnish with chopped basil leaves.
• Use fire-roasted tomatoes instead of pasta sauce.

FRIED GREEN TOMATO PARM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Season both sides of the green tomato slices with salt and set aside; this will draw out some of the moisture.
• Toss the whole canned tomatoes with the vinegar, brown sugar, oil and a large pinch of salt. Place the whole tomatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until slightly caramelized and dried out a bit, about 20 minutes. Set aside.
• Set up a standard breading station with three shallow bowls, one with the flour, one with eggs and one with panko. Season the green tomato slices with black pepper. Dredge each tomato slice in the flour, shake off the excess, dip in the egg, let excess drip back into the bowl, and then coat in panko. Set aside on wire rack and repeat with the remaining slices.
• Heat 1/2 inch of oil in each of 2 large straight-sided saute pans over medium heat. Working in batches, fry a few of the tomato slices at a time, turning them once, until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes a side. Using tongs, transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining tomato slices. Lower the oven temperature to 175 degrees F. Transfer the tomatoes to a wire rack set over a sheet pan. Place in the oven to keep warm.
• Butter the insides of the buns and toast until golden and crispy. Lay the Burrata on the bottom of the buns, then top with hot green tomatoes, 4 to 5 roasted tomatoes, a spoon of hot giardiniera and some basil. Close buns, cut each in half and serve with applause.
