Fried Green Tomatoes & The Best Crispy Tofu

Its officially tomato girl summer

Fried green tomatoes wasn’t what I was intending on filming this week but my neighbor has the most amazing garden and asked if I wanted some green heirloom tomatoes and the word “yes' ' couldn't come out fast enough. He then asked what I was planning to do with them and I said - fried green tomatoes of course. He seemed like he didn’t know what he was missing because he didn’t know what that was but that his wife also mentioned wanting to make fried green tomatoes. So naturally this weeks kimchi grilled cheese will have to be a surprise for another moment.

The weekly round-up

Fried green tomatoes

I can't even remember the last time I was able to find green tomatoes. They’re usually eaten as an appetizer or as a snack side ? Sort of like fried pickles. Eating it in a sandwich with some remoulade and kale slaw is my favorite way. And what better way to celebrate tomato girl summer.

Crispy tofu, butter bean puree, sauteed tomato’s and artichokes

I was really wanting to just make what I was craving and play around a little bit and made this crispy breaded tofu with this delicious butter bean puree, sauteed chunky tomato’s and crispy marinated artichokes. Finished with violife parm cheese, lemon zest and a little bit of flakey Maldon salt. Needless to say it did not disappoint. I highly encourage you make one of these recipi’s this week as they are both just so savory, crunchy and delicious.

That’s it for this week folks ! I hope you guys have been liking how I have been liking this newsletter now that with a couple weeks I seem to have this Substack thing down.
