Indulgence: Fried Green Tomato Sandwich

I picked up some late-harvest unripe green tomatoes at the farmer's market, and made fried green tomatoes. Then I stacked them up between bread, lettuce, red onion, and mayonnaise in a delicious sandwich!

It's really easy; just follow this recipe and spread some mayonnaise on toasted bread, add lettuce and thinly sliced red onion, and bingo! Fried green tomato sandwich. So good!

There are many sad, green, picked-right-before-the-frost tomatoes in my kitchen. Thanks for the idea.

I just had my first fried green tomato at Market Lunch in DC last month. I really didn't know what I was missing. So simple, juicy . . . fried. I mean, are they good for you? They can't be! But if you are in DC and they have the FGTs, you should try them.

I love a fried green tomato BLT (or would that be BLFGT?).

Try using aioli instead of mayo.
