This is a far step away from my original idea, the McDonald’s double chz with Bee n Beez on it instead of Mickey D’s picks. I thought it was a good idea, the McDonalds on Union Sq. West is basically IN the farmer’s market, what’s more local than that?! After having a conversation with my good friend Rachael (Brooklyn Bullion, Hudson Valley Duck Farm) we landed on this idea: The BLGTC, a twist on the classic BLT. Rachael informed me that Green Tomatoes are very much in season right now and we both thought it would be a good idea to showcase them in their pickled variety. Come December you wont be able to find fresh Green Tomatoes, but since we here at Rick’s Picks pickle at the peak of freshness you can have them all year round! Wahoo!!
Things I bought at The New Amsterdam Market:
] – Moosefund Farm’s Marjalista Pork, Branchville, NJ1 Pane Casareccio Sourdough loaf = $4 –Sullivan St. Bakery, New York, NYVarious mixed lettuce and Arugula = $1 – Do Re Me Farm, Newhampton, NYSTEP BY STEP:
For the mayo:
Mix tablespoon of mayonnaise with hefty pinch of thyme and a tiny pinch of Sage. Add salt and pepper to taste.Sandwich:
Fry Bacon until desired level of crispy is obtained.While bacon is cooking slice bread and spread mayo on both halves (if you have time, do the holy crap it smells like delicious bacon dance)Stack bacon on sandwich to your liking.Add GTC and Lettuce.Take a deep breath.Eat.So there it is, the BLGTC! Big Lou’s Green Tomato Concoction! (or, simply, Bacon, Lettuce, Green Tomato Condiment, if you’re a lame-o.)
