Farm to Table Recipes
A Tomato Sandwich Worthy of a Little Bacon
Ingredients
3 slices bacon, cooked crisp, crumbled and rendered fat reserved
1 room temperature egg
1 clove garlic
1 avocado
Juice of half a lemon
3/4 cup vegetable oil
The Bacon-Avocado Aioli
Toasted slices of a good rustic Italian bread
The best tomatoes you can find, sliced about 1/4 inch thick
Salt and pepper
Notes / Directions
1. Process the bacon, egg, garlic, lemon juice and avocado in the bowl of a mini food processor until smooth. Add the vegetable oil and the rendered bacon fat through the holes on the lid slowly while continuing to process until very smooth and thick. Refrigerate for about an hour to thicken a bit more.
2. Slather as much of the aioli as you like on a slice of the toast. Top with a few slices of tomato and sprinkle with salt and pepper. I like these open face but if you like, slather a second piece of bread with more of the aioli and place on top.

Augusta Locally Grown: THE ON-LINE MARKET IS OPEN AT AUGUSTA LOCALLY GROWN!N
WOW. Wow wow wow wow. Not sure how, but 80+ hard-working local food activists showed up last night to help turn Augusta into a future “Food Oasis.” First we feasted on a kickin’ spread of appetizers created by Helms College culinary students and their instructor, Chef Erica Chaney, Then we settled into our seats at the historic and gorgeous facilities at Enterprise Mill, both the Cotton Room and Fat Man’s. Then we put our heads together. And dug and dug. Until ideas and networks and new friendships sprung up all over the room. Many thanks to Georgia Organics and Urban Menu for providing a strong trellis upon which we will grow this purposeful movement. Most of all, many many thanks to all of you who attended, shared and committed to this three-year OOMPH! Next steps will follow soon!
