Meatless Monday Recipe-Fried Green Tomato Clubs

Fried Green Tomato Clubs

Serves 4; 30 minutes or less

This is a great recipe to enjoy summer and to use green tomatoes that you can pick up from the Farmer's Market. I adapted this recipe from Martha Stewart Living Cookbook-The New Classics. I added some fresh spinach for added color. Add hot sauce for an added kick.

4 slices of veggie bacon

3/4 cup stone-ground yellow cornmeal

1 teaspoon salt

Pinch of cayenne pepper

Pinch of sugar

2 green tomatoes, thinly sliced

4 biscuits or English muffins, split and toasted (I used German Dark Wheat bread)

Vegan Mayonnaise for serving (I used Nayonaise)

4 slices of sharp Cheddar cheese (optional)

1 1/2 cups of spinach

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1. Cook the veggie bacon in a skillet until crisp. Set aside.

2. In a shallow dish, mix together the cornmeal, salt, cayenne pepper, and sugar. Add the tomatoes, and toss to coat.

3. Heat the vegetable oil in the skillet over medium heat; add the tomatoes, and fry until golden, about 2 minutes per side.

4. Spread the vegan mayonnaise over the cut sides of biscuits; fill each side with 1 to 2 slices fried tomatoes, 1 slice of veggie bacon and cheese, and add spinach. Sprinkle with hot sauce, if desired. Enjoy.
