Ingredients

2 large green tomatoes
1 egg
1/2 cup blanched almond flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour
1 tablespoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)

Crab Salad

4 ounces crab meat
2 tablespoons Avocado mayonnaise (you can also make your own homemade mayo like this)
1/2 tablespoon cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon White onion (minced)
1 roma tomato diced

Fried Capers

3 tablespoons capers
2 tablespoons coconut oil

For the Tomatoes: Preheat oven to 400° F and line a baking sheet with parchment or aluminum foil. In a small bowl whisk one egg, in another bowl combine the flours and spices. Slice the tomatoes into 1/2 inch slices and dip into the egg letting the excess fall off and gently toss in the flour mixture. Repeat until all tomatoes have been coated.
Bake: Brush with a bit of coconut oil and bake for 10 minutes. Flip, brush with a bit more oil and bake another 10-15 minutes until golden and crunchy.
For the Crab Salad: Mix the ingredients together and season with salt to your taste. Refrigerate until the tomatoes are done.
For the Fried Capers:Drain the capers and give them a squeeze to release more water. Let drain on a paper towel. In a small skillet (I used a 5” cast iron skillet), heat about 2 tablespoons of coconut oil over medium high heat. Drop the capers into the oil in two batches and fry about 30-45 seconds until they have popped open and are crispy.
Assemble:Place the tomatoes on a platter and top with crab salad, diced tomato, and fried capers.
