Ingredients

  • 3 Pork Belly sliced
  • 2 Green tomatoes sliced
  • ½ cup Italian bread crumbs
  • 2 Eggs
  • ¼ cup Vegetable oil
  • ½ cup Fried Plantain Strips
  • ½ cup Ricotta cheese
  • 2 tablespoon maple sryup

Instructions

  • Step 1: Slice the pork belly and place it on a non-grease pan on medium heat. Cook till crispy and take out and drain on a plate with a paper towel.
  • Step 2: Once the bacon has drained and the fat cooled off, cut in bite size.
  • Step 3: Keep the tomatoes at room temperature, wash the green tomato slices, and slice horizontally, about ½ inch thick.
  • Step 4: In shallow bowls mix the eggs in one, and place the bread crumbs in the other. Dip the sliced tomato in the egg mixture on both sides. Then dip into the bread crumb.

  • Step 7: On individual plates, place the fried green tomato on top of the mac and cheese, add a spoonful of ricotta cheese with bacon bits.
  • Step 8: For a finishing touch I also added a plantain strip on top and drizzled maple syrup for sweet flavors to add to the dish, Enjoy!

Notes

  • When making the fried green tomatoes wash and slice before I warm up the oil. That way everything is prepped before I start.
  • Don't use a tomato that is soft or else it will be all mushy by the time it is fried.
