Adult BLTs

[RG]

Who doesn't like a good BLT? Very few I'd imagine. We didn't feel like cooking up a big meal tonight so we went diving in the freezer and pulled out the pork belly we smoked on the KBQ not so long ago. You remember the one don't you? It was this fella here :




The better half decided that she wanted to make BLTs out of it so that's what she did.

She took some ciabatta and toasted it in the oven and cut some thick slices of that pork belly and crisped them up in a frying pan. The sandwich was built as follows : bottom bun spread with sun dried tomato pesto (good stuff!), pork belly, garden tomato slices, lettuce, provolone, fresh sliced avocado, just a little mayo on top bun. I had mine sans avocado but she and my son had it on theirs. Served with some hand cut sweet potato fries.





It was a simple, easy meal that hit the spot!

Afterwards we got in the pool then I cut some wood for the KBQ for an early morning smoke. Life is good!

I did on mine, that pic was my wife's BLT. I ditched the avocado and made sure the mayo could actually be tasted on mine

Great looking sammie, RG.
Everything on it sounds really good except the cheese.
Is that just an "RG thing"? I've never had cheese on a BLT.
Have I been missing something all these years?

I'm with you on the cheese but actually it works! Provolone is so mild it doesn't take away from the sandwich flavors. Typically there isn't sun dried pesto nor avocado on them either but sometimes you monkey around with something and it works

My son, the chef who is a snob, LOVED it. He said that is the type of thing that could be sold at the restaurant he works at. I take that high praise indeed.

I certainly agree with the "experimenting", & the avocado sounds great.
In fact, I probably would like just bacon, tomato, & avocado.

You never get too old for a good BLT or a PB & J

High praise, indeed, and well deserved ! ! !

I have to admit, I do like pork belly but not so much unless it has been crisped up. Those first 2 pics from when we made it show that it is what pork belly is......fatty. It's good but a little too rich and unctuous (big word alert, lol). I think it's much more palatable when crispy.

And, yes she could win many a Throwdown with it, it was quite tasty. I wish I had another this very moment

You can have my PB & J Smoke.

Didn't like them as a kid, (thank God my mama didn't care for them either) & I care less for them now.

A BLT with PB awesome, but I want  more of the garden and crisp PB.
