FRIED GREEN TOMATO AND BACON PULLED PORK SLIDERS

[Sowsage]

I ordered a new rub a couple weeks ago so I had to give it a try. Didn't have much going on yesterday so I figured I would put a pork but on the drum .

Here is the rub.

All rubbed down and onto the smoker. I had the drum running between 250°-275° . spritz with Apple juice from time to time.

This is about the 4 hr mark

While that was doing its thing I decided some bacon might be good to put on the sandwiches. So I got a few. Half slices out of the fridge and cooked them on the grill in the cast iron.

So then I had all this wonderful bacon greese and I figured I would use it to fry something....we have a few green tomatoes so that's what I decided on. Flour then eggwash then bread crumbs and corn meal.

I did add some extra cooking oil to the bacon greese.
Into the pan they go!

Give them a flip.

Man theese look good!

Pork out if the smoker and ready to pull!

All pulled and some of the liquid mixed back in.

The wannarub website had a recipe for "wannarub" sauce so I made up a batch of that too. (Sorry no pics of that)

And here are the sliders....pulled pork, fried green tomato, bacon and the wannarub sauce! Along with some smoked mac-ncheese.

Man these things were really good! The wannarub is a winner in my book. It's a sweet and savory rub with just a hint of kick to it. The sauce was good too. Putting the green tomato and the bacon on made it a whole new experience for a pulled pork sandwich! Theese little sliders were fun to make and sure were tasty!

After dinner and the kids in bed I enjoyed a few beers and a nice veiw of the sun set off the back patio.

Thanks for taking a look!

Oh lordy. That looks great. Never thought about putting fried green maters on a slider before. Hell, they rarely make it to the plate. Though, I've had them on BLT's before. The sunset is beautiful. Big, big like!

Good looking meal Travis! And beautiful pics! Can honestly say I've never had fried green tomatoes, gonna have to give it a try. Never used to even like them but now half the cherry tomatoes don't make it out of the garden.
