Step 1
Blend roasted red peppers with 1 tbsp lemon juice and a pinch of salt until smooth. Set the sauce aside.
Step 2
Slice green tomatoes into 0.5-inch rounds. Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 3
Mix cornmeal, flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Coat each tomato slice evenly on both sides.
Step 4
Heat 0.5 inch oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Working in batches, fry tomato slices 2–3 minutes per side until deep golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel.
Step 6
Toss asparagus with 1 tbsp oil, salt, and pepper. Sear in the same skillet 3–4 minutes, shaking occasionally, until lightly charred.
Step 7
Layer fried tomato slices with remoulade (mayo mixed with 1 tsp lemon juice and a pinch of Cajun spice) and serve with asparagus and red pepper coulis alongside.
