Delicious. That is the same recipe i use for fried green tomatoes. One thought though is why use 1 cup white cornmeal and 1 cup yellow? The only difference between them is the color and after frying golden brown there is no difference at all. I'm just saying 1 1/4 cup of either color corn meal would be the same but the blue corn meal would be one color that would turn out darker and probably be less appealing to the eye. I want to try your Memphis sauce, that could be a keeper for me.

I can just picture this as a show stopper on a simple white salad plate 3 fried green tomatoes stacked in a line with a battered and fried red bell pepper slice placed on top, drizzle some of the Memphis Sauce down the row of tomatoes, add the feta cheese crumbles on top and garnish with some whole chives to give some height and a splash of more color. That just sounds fabulous. Thanks BL. :)
