How To Make crusted fried green tomatoes w/ tasso tartar sauce

  • Step 1
    Prepare the Tasso Tartar Sauce: Place pork tasso, shallots, red onion, celery, fresh lemon juice, and garlic in bowl of a food processor; pulse until finely chopped, 6 to 8 times. Scrape mixture into a small bowl, and fold in mayonnaise, mustard, cayenne, sugar, and salt. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

    Prepare the Fried Green Tomatoes: Heat 1 inch of oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium to 350°F. Sprinkle tomato slices with salt and pepper. Place flour, beaten eggs, and crushed chips in 3 separate shallow bowls. Dredge tomato slices in flour; dip in egg, shaking off excess. Dredge in crushed chips until coated. Fry tomatoes, in batches, in hot oil until golden brown and crunchy, about 2 minutes per side. Serve immediately with Tasso Tartar Sauce
