Holy Mojo. Fried green Tomato, pulled Chicken, and Bacon sandwich.

Ok This sandwich must be eaten as is. If you substitute you do it injustice! But do your thang!

Anyway, I have been opening my mind up to cooking with lard. I am a bacon-eater and although I like to make sure my piggy was happy before I eat it, very little can stop me from a chance to chow on some bacon. Sometimes I even gross myself out!!! But I love it.

So cooking with lard is a traditional form of cooking, its cost saving, and delicious, and nutritious in my opinion.

Here we go......

This recipe has 4 levels so I will separate them for convenience:
Chicken- 

marinate in vinegar, olive oil, pepper, old bay, spices, ect. Some fresh cilantro and lemon juice would be awesome as well.
1/4 cup shredded cheddar
-Then start the grill and grill on low until cooked through. Then pull/chop it up small, and finish with a dress in shredded cabot or vermont white cheddar.

Bacon-
cook the bacon and save the fat. don't burn the bacon otherwise you will denature the fat. eat a piece while you are cooking :)


Kale and onions-
A bunch of Kale
1/2 onion
-chop up the kale in small pieces, same with the onions. begin sauteing the onions and kale in the pan with a tablespoon of bacon fat until tender.

Green Tomatoes- 
I used 2 medium green tomatoes
Spices, peppers, garlic, use a mix
Hot sauce, like clancy's fancy or franks whatever pleases you
Some Olive Oil, and bacon fat for frying.
1 Egg
-Dress in oil, hot sauce, and spice mix to get the flavors going. Then add one egg, stir and coat, get the oil/bacon fact going, and begin to dress your tomaters in cornmeal. place in pan, let cook for a few on med/low and flip one over to see if its browned. If so, flip them all. and do the same again. place on a hearty napkin or paper bag when finished.

Now for the finished product, onion bun, grilled. Layer the chicken, bacon, greens, and fried green tomatoes. Top with franks and ranch dressing!!!!!!!

Holy yummmmmmmmnesssssssssss.
