Directions

Corn and Tomato Relish:

Mix the first 6 ingredients together to make a dressing. In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients.

Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and allow the mixture to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.

For the oysters:

In a large bowl combine the dry ingredients, fresh herbs and corn. In a separate bowl whisk the egg and the oyster liquid together. Add the egg mixture to dry ingredients. Gently fold the oysters into the batter.

For the Fried Green Tomatoes:

In a shallow dish combine flour and seasonings. In a separate dish whisk egg and milk together. In a third dish, combine cornmeal, flour and seasonings.

Pat slices of tomatoes dry and use standard breading procedure: dredge in flour mixture, egg wash, then into cornmeal mixture.

 

Heat oil to 350 degrees in a shallow pan. Fry both oysters and tomatoes until golden brown. Place on a rack with absorbent paper allowing some of the grease to drain.

Place 3 fried tomatoes followed by 3 fried oysters on a plate and top with corn & tomato relish. Drizzle Chipotle Chili Aioli on top and serve with a side of Creamy Horseradish Sauce.
