1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 cup cornmeal |
4-1/2 teaspoons seafood seasoning |
1 teaspoon pepper |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1 cup buttermilk |
8 medium green tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch slices |
oil for deep-fat frying |
16 slices texas toast |
1/2 cup reduced-fat chipotle mayonnaise |
8 boston lettuce leaves |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain. In a small shallow bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, seafood seasoning, pepper and salt. Place buttermilk and flour mixture in shallow bowl. Dip tomatoes in buttermilk, then coat with flour mixture.
