Mama's rémoulade recipe' actually came from a NO restaurant famous for this sauce. I too use both flour and corn meal, but I just mix 50-50 in a brown paper bag, along with black pepper, salt, and red pepper. Sometimes, if I am brave, I'll throw in a measure of Creole spices. I dunk the sliced green tomatoes (only a max of 3/8" thick though) in egg batter, toss them in the paper sack, and just shake them up. I do the same for fried fish.

I love 'um.

Hey Ken and all,

I lived on my boat down in the Islands for a while and there was a Bar/Restaurant on Jost Van Dyke that cooked Creole that was fantastic. The lady cook was a local but she lived and cooked in New Orleans for 14 years before returning home. She learned the style and incorporated that with the Island spicy cooking, oh boy... . I ate there about every week.

To me the official start of the great summer gardening is cooking that first batch of Fried Green Tomatoes.

Thanks guys,
Thomas
