JBFGT sandwich, that’s a jowl bacon fried green tomato sandwich.
The jowl bacon is from my butcher Kah Meats. I have seen this on the net and
think fried green tomatoes were used to top a burger too. I love both bacon and
tomatoes so had to try this.
The grandson had a soccer game an hour south of here so the
wife went with them. I hate it that it makes too long of day for my back and
leg to go along. At least I can still make his home games to see him play.
After I smoked some peanuts today I found one green tomato
in my garden that would do for fried green tomatoes. I don’t like them when
they are dark green and still too hard, when they turn a light green or even
have a little red they are ready.
I wanted to fry the bacon and tomatoes outside but by 5:00
pm rain was getting too close. I breaded 3 slices of the tomato and in the
fridge to set up. I dipped them in flour then egg and then panko bread crumbs.
Cracker crumbs used to be my favorite but now I prefer the Panko bread crumbs;
some people like cornmeal.
I sliced and fried up plenty of the jowl bacon for my
sandwich. I lightly coated the bacon with some Savor’s Super Pig. I don’t care
for the pig candy that is made from a heavy coat of Super Pig but found I do
like a light coat on my bacon. I then took a beer break, well maybe two!
I reheated the bacon grease and fried the green tomatoes; a
minute or two on each side to get a nice golden brown. I lightly toasted some
rye bread for the sandwich and had left over tater tots with country gravy for
a side. I made the sandwich with mustard on the bottom and mayo on the top
slice; plenty of bacon added with the tomatoes on top. I had a good Yuengling
beer with it.
That was a great sandwich; I would make it again but think I
prefer just a standard BLT and have the fried green tomatoes on the side.
