Oyster Po Boy Wraps & Fried Green Tomatoes

After Thanksgiving weekend at the beach, my mother in law sent us home with some oysters and green tomatoes.  What should you do with those two items, fry them!  Let me preface this post by saying we rarely fry stuff in our house, mostly grilled food, but when we do fry I like to do it right!  Here's a rundown of this delicious dinner:

 

Ingredients:

• Oysters
• Green Tomatoes
• Romain lettuce
• Whole wheat wraps
• Pepperjack cheese
• Eggs & Milk
• Batter: Flour, cornmeal, salt, pepper, and garlic powder
• Spice Remoulade Sauce: mayo, pickle juice, spicy mustard, sweet chili sauce, cayenne, paprika, horseradish, clove of garlic, hot sauce (franks or texas pete)

Step 1: Make the spicy remoulade sauce.  In a food processor, combine 1 1/4 cup of mayo, 1/4 cup spicy mustard, garlic clove smashed, tablespoon of pickle juice, tablespoon of horseradish, dash of cayenne and paprika, tablespoon of hot sauce, 1/4 cup of sweet chili sauce.  Blend together until smooth consistency.  As with any sauce, you can adjust the amount of ingredients to suite your preference.



 

Step 2: slice the romaine and green tomatoes.  Pour some white wine to go with it!  In a bowl combine 2 eggs and some milk.  In a ziploc back combine 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of cornmeal, 1 tablespoon of pepper, tablespoon of salt, and tablespoon of garlic powder.  Shake the bag up to mix the batter together before emptying into a bowl.

Step 3: Add olive oil to a cast iron skillet and heat.  Dip green tomatoes in the egg & milk mixture until coated.  Add to batter and cover.  Fry the green tomatoes until golden brown!

Step 4: repeat step 3 above for the oysters.  I drained the oil and added new olive oil just to be clean.

Step 5: On a whole wheat wrap add fried oysters, cheese, and lettuce.  Top with spicy remoulade and roll it up.  Serve fried green tomatoes as the side and enjoy!
