Fried Green Tomato Po'boys

Last week I shared my love for fried green tomatoes  - and although they can hold their own as a side dish I can't resist piling them high on a baguette with my zesty homemade Cajun rémoulade sauce and smoky coconut bacon. Trust me, Fried Green Tomato Po'boys are pretty much the tastiest sandwich you will EVER eat! 

When we visited New Orleans a few years back it seemed like every restaurant had its own version of rémoulade sauce that they served along with their crab cakes and po'boy sandwiches. Each one had its own subtle flavor variations and appearance, but they all had this magical way of transforming a simple sandwich to new heights.

My rémoulade marries creamy mayonnaise, spicy mustard, herbs and freshly grated horseradish - it's a secret weapon in my kitchen that I serve up not only when I am cooking a big batch of fried green tomatoes, but I also like to serve it with my veggie burgers and home fries instead of ketchup.

This rémoulade is great on fried green tomato po,boys, but you can also use it as a spread for good old fashioned tomato sandwiches, a dip for home fries, or a spicy sauce to drizzle over your latest veggie rice bowl creation!
