Three words for you…SUMMER IS HERE! Okay so I know summer has been here for a few weeks but that’s beside the point. It is here. When I think of summer the first and pretty much only thing I think of is the beach and eating amazing food at the beach. So what did we decide to do to welcome the summer? Have a southern summer feast at our house. Luckily, the farmers market had some great things to kick it off – stuff for my veggie juices, okra hush puppies (recipe coming soon), and green tomatoes
First we made these fried green tomatoes which were a perfect compliment to the crab cakes.
One of our friends from Fairhope had them once and gave them the official seal of approval. Thanks William! But I love the crispiness on the outside of the crab cakes and then the tender lump crab meat on the inside. Now all I need to do is perfect my remoulade!
I think the next time I make these two dishes I will put them on a hoagie roll, add some bacon, provolone cheese, lettuce, and remoulade sauce.
