Amy Kritzer
Fried Green Tomato Sabich is what's for lunch today! Fried green tomatoes, spicy mayo, Israeli salad, eggs, homemade pita and unicorn tears. Okay, not that last thing.
To make your Israeli salad, combine cucumber, red onion, 1/4 cup cilantro, 1 tablespoon oil, juice from 1/2 lemon and salt and pepper to taste in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Mix together mayo and hot sauce in a small bowl. Set aside.
To make the fried green tomatoes, place flour with 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt in one shallow bowl, whisked egg in another, and bread crumbs in a third.
Head remaining oil in a small sauté pan until a bit of bread crumbs thrown in sizzle but do not burn. Fry tomatoes 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Do not overcrowd pan, Drain briefly on paper towels and sprinkle with more salt.
Spread spicy mayo in the spiced pitas and top with fried green tomatoes, salad, a few egg slices and more cilantro. Serve with extra salad and a squeeze of lemon.
