Vendor of the Week: Snow Bird Granola

Kara Snow started Snow Bird Granola in November of 2014 with very few expectations, lots of fear, and unending support from family and friends. Kara has a B.S. in Dietetics, so she’s very passionate about food and nutrition. Kara also loves the Lord and making others smile, and it has been such a blessing for her to see all these passions join together to create Snow Bird Granola. Kara says the Lord’s hand has been all over this adventure, and truly none of it would be possible without Him.

Food allergies also hold a special place in her heart because several of her loved ones have been impacted by them. Kara says she never wants anyone to feel turned away from Snow Bird Granola because of a food allergy, so she’s happy to accommodate any food allergy. She also has experience working with individuals with gluten, dairy, whey, and nut allergies, and she would love to create something special for anyone to enjoy.

Kara is also very passionate about giving back. 10% of each granola order goes toward Feed My Starving Children (FMSC). FMSC is a non-profit, Christian organization that provides nutritious meal packages to malnourished men, women, and children around the world.

Chef Adam’s Fried Green Tomato BLT

13434841_1005245779510766_8559558689227891095_n

Fried Green Tomatoes BLT with Bacon Aioli

This is a perfect early summer sandwich when the tomatoes are not quite ready but look great and green! This recipe also includes a bacon aioli (it’s like mayo) made with the rendered bacon fat.

 

Fried Green Tomatoes

2 lbs                       Fresh Green Tomatoes (sliced thick about ¼ inch)

1 cup                     Flour (all purpose)

1 TBSP                   Salt

1 TBSP                   Granulated Garlic

1 TBSP                   Paprika

2 each                   Eggs

¼ cup                    Water

1 cup                     Italian Breadcrumbs

1 cup                     Panko Breadcrumbs

As needed          Canola Oil

 

Method of Preparation

  1. Set up the breading – in bowl one, combine the flour, salt, garlic and paprika, in bowl two, whip the eggs with the water and in the third bowl, mix the Italian and panko bread crumbs.
  2. Place one slice of tomato at a time into the flour (shake off excess flour) then into the egg wash, then into the breadcrumbs. Do this until they are all breaded and set aside for cooking.
  3. In a sauté pan, heat up enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan (about medium high heat). Place the breaded tomato into the pan and cook for about 2 minutes on each side (be sure not to over crowd the pan) or until they begin to brown. Remove from the pan and drain excess oil on a paper towel. Set aside for later assembly.

 

 

 

 

Bacon Aioli

2 each                   Egg yolks

1 cup                     Bacon Grease (warm but not hot)

3 each                   Fresh Garlic Cloves

1 TBSP                   Salt

1 TSP                     Cayenne Pepper

Method of Preparation:

  1. In a blender (or in a food processor or in a cup with an emersion blender), mix the egg yolks until they begin to turn light yellow.
  2. While the blender is still on, slowly add the bacon grease. This process needs to be carefully done to achieve the intended results. The oil should combine with the yolks and begin to resemble a yellowish mayonnaise.
  3. Once all the grease is incorporated, add in the garlic salt and pepper and blend until smooth.
  4. ** If too thick, just add a tablespoon or two or water while mixing. If too thin, you have possibly added the grease too quickly and it is “broken”. To correct, remove the mixture into a bowl and add two more yolks to the blender and begin mixing again and repeat the process with the thin egg/grease mixture. This should correct the problem.
  5. Place into the refrigerator until needed.

 

Final assembly

Ingredients:

2 slices                  Bread (toast if desired)

3 strips                  Cooked Bacon

2 leaves                Lettuce

2 slices                  Fried Green Tomatoes

2 TBSP                   Bacon Aioli

Method of assembly:

  1. On one slice of bread, spread some of the bacon aioli on then top with the bacon, lettuce and fried green tomatoes. Then spread some more bacon aioli on the top slice of bread and cap the sandwich.
  2. Slice and serve.
