1/4 cup Fat Johnny's homemade Vidalia onion dixie relish

Fried Green Tomatoes
4 large, green beefsteak tomatoes - sliced 1/4" (about 20 slices)
Seasoned flour (1/2 flour 1/2 cornmeal
+ Tonys, garlic salt & black pepper)
Fry in bacon grease/crisco
Remove to rack to drain & cool - sprinkle
with a lil' grated parmesan
2 sticks smoked andouille sausage - sliced thin (like pepperoni)
2 cups shredded,
smoked provolone
4 cups pizza blend cheese (mozzarella,provolone, parmesan, romano)
1/2 cup grated parmesan
Make the dough, and let rise till double in size (about an hour) ... punch it down & let rise again for about 30 minutes.
While the dough is rising, fry the green tomatoes. After second rise, cut dough into 2 equal portions, and roll them out to
fit 14" pizza pans. Dock the panned dough & divide the sauce equally on the 2 pizzas, and spread it out to the edges.
Spread 1 cup of smoked provolone on each pizza...covering the sauce. Cut all the fried green tomatoes in half, and
arrange them evenly ... on top of the provolone ... on each pizza. Now spread half of the pizza cheese over the tomatoes (1
cup per pizza) ... then arrange the sliced andouille sausage on each pizza ... and finally top with the remaining pizza cheese
(1 cup per pizza) ~ sprinkle with a few birdeye chilis, and bake in hot 450* oven for about 15-20 minutes ... until bottoms
and edges of crust are browned. Sprinkle with some more parmesan when they come out of the oven ... let cool slightly before
slicing.
If you don't have andouille, smoked pulled pork would be very good substitute ...
Bon Appetito'
