    My brand spanking new gluten free fried Creole tomatoes with roasted artichoke remoulade was made for summer snack sharing, y'all. Dredged in cassava flour, dipped in egg wash, and finished off with GF bread crumbs, each bite is crunchy on the outside and fall-apart tender on the inside. Roasted artichokes submerged in my easy homemade remoulade sauce increase the flavor and visual dramatic intensity of these fried south Louisiana delicacies. Yep and yay...

    Oh, Gluten Free Fried Red Tomatoes, You're Just as Perfect As I Thought You Would Be...

    Since Mark didn't have a chance to plant tomatoes this year, I've been craving Creole tomatoes something awful, y'all!! I once thought that Creole tomatoes were their own variety. But further research concludes that the south Louisiana Creole tomatoes we all know and love down here are actually several cultivars that have been grown here and vine-ripened before being sold locally.

    So, what makes them so special to us is their freshness, not that they're a particular kind of tomato at all. Just that they're locally grown and therefore do not have to travel very far from their vines into our mouths. Yep. 

    With my curiosity now quenched and my heart still crying out for Creole tomatoes, I (sent Mark) to our local produce mart for a big bag of them. I wanted them for salads. But, I also thought of frying the Creole tomatoes to pair with my fave homemade remoulade sauce. Then, I had the thought to bring roasted artichokes into the mix. And then I honestly couldn't think of anything else until I actually got into the kitchen and whipped up a batch.

    I was kind of nervous, as this was the first time that I'd ever attempted making fried red tomatoes. I'd already mastered my gluten free fried green tomatoes recipe. So, I thought I would use that as the base for this recipe. 

    However, when I cut into the red tomato flesh, I realized that I would need something a little stronger for the batter since the red tomatoes are a bit mushier than the green. So, I adapted my recipe. And in doing so created a brand new recipe that really can be used interchangeably for both red and green tomatoes.

    And truth be told, my new gluten free fried red tomatoes came out just as perfect as I thought they would be. And all you need to do to achieve my same results is just follow the same easy steps...

    How to Make Gluten Free Fried Creole Tomatoes with Roasted Artichoke Remoulade

    To start the gluten free fried Creole tomatoes with roasted artichoke remoulade, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Arrange canned, quartered artichoke hearts on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Then, bake for about 20 minutes, or until they look like this:

    Next, make the remoulade sauce. Put about ¾ of the roasted artichoke heart quarters into the sauce, and stir until well-combined. Leave the rest of the roasted artichoke heart quarters to top the sauce just before serving.

    Then, fill three shallow bowls. In the first, add the cassava flour. In the next bowl, make the egg wash. Then, shake the seasoned gluten free bread crumbs into the third bowl:

    Heat your oil to about 350 degrees F in a large cast iron skillet. You only need about an inch or two of oil in the skillet. Once the oil is hot, you fry the double-battered Creole tomato slices for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until both sides are crispy and slightly browned.

    Finally, drain on paper towels before serving with the sauce. And that is totally it, y'all!!

    Just as easy as they are delicious, these fried Creole tomatoes are the perfect summer midday snack. The inside of each tomato stays melt-in-your-mouth tender, while the outside yields just the perfect crunch. The roasted artichokes inject new depths of flavor and texture into my trusty homemade remoulade sauce, making each bite the perfect juxtaposition of fried, roasted, and sauced yum-deliciousness.

    Share these gluten free fried Creole tomatoes with roasted artichoke remoulade sauce with those whose feisty presence never fails to energize your inner being. And see y'all on the yum side...

    Ingredients

    For the Roasted Artichokes

    • 1 14.5-ounce can artichoke hearts quarters, drained
    • salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper to taste

    For the Remoulade Sauce

    • 1 batch Remoulade Sauce

    For the Gluten Free Fried Creole Tomatoes

    • 2 to 3 cups cooking oil
    • 1 pound Creole tomatoes Can be just one if the tomato is large enough
    • ½ cup cassava flour
    • 1 lightly beaten egg
    • 2 dashes hot sauce
    • 2 tablespoons milk
    • 1 to 2 cups seasoned gluten free breadcrumbs

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
    • Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • Season the drained artichoke hearts with the SP&C.
    • Arrange the artichoke hearts in a single layer along the parchment paper-covered baking sheet.
    • Bake for 20 minutes, or until cooked through and browned.
    • Set aside to cool.
    • Make the Remoulade sauce. Submerge ¾ of the roasted artichoke hearts in the sauce. Reserve the rest for topping the sauce. (You can make and refrigerate this Remoulade sauce up to 2 days ahead.)
    • Heat the oil in a large cast iron skillet until your fry thermometer reads 350 degrees F.
    • Use a large knife to cut the Creole tomato or tomatoes into ¼-inch slices.
    • Season the slices liberally with salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper.
    • Line three shallow bowls along your counter next to the stove. Fill the first with the cassava flour, the second with the beaten egg, hot sauce and milk, and the third with the seasoned gluten free bread crumbs.
    • Dredge Creole tomato slices in the cassava flour, then the egg wash, then the seasoned bread crumbs.
    • Fry a few slices at a time, for about 2 minutes on each side, then flip and fry for another 1 to 2 minutes. (If the tomatoes are mushy and cave when you try to flip them, just use your frying spatula to submerge them in the oil for 30 seconds to 1 minute after you're sure the bottom is cooked through.)
    • Serve immediately with the roasted artichoke remoulade sauce on top, or on the side as a dipping sauce.
