My name is Shannon Overmiller. I am an Executive Chef at The Majestic in Old Town Alexandria. Today I will be demonstrating for you, fired green tomatoes, which is a southern classic. Today, the tools that you may find necessary are, a) a mixer or as an option you can use a hand whisk or even a blender, whatever is available to you. Then you also have to have a fryer or of course, the option is just a pot filled with canola oil, take four cups or so, for frying adequately at 400 using a thermometer. You will also need to note some things about safety, which well go into more detail as I go through the demonstration. You need to be careful, when placing the green tomatoes into the fryer, basic knife skills as well. So, lets get ready to cook and Ill show what we need. One of the garnishes for fried green tomato is a garlic aioli or make a garlic mayonnaise. Some of the ingredients necessary for the aioli will be cayenne a pinch, three whole eggs, two yolks, one teaspoon of chopped garlic, to your taste adjustable. Then you also need salt to taste, the juice of two to three lemons to taste, and you also will need canola oil three cups, two cups of olive oil. Shall we begin?
