Which green tomato recipe of mine will you be trying?

Feel free to share your own recipes, too, for green tomatoes.

From the lens Green Tomato Recipes.

The Splendid Table on NPR agrees that green tomatoes are wonderful to use in recipes. What do you do with green tomatoes?

    Well dog-gone it but that green tomato casserole does look mighty enticing.

    Only recently did I try green tomatoes for the first time. It was fried green tomatoes. I'm not a fan of tomatoes, but I admit that I did enjoy those. Not at all what I expected!

    This is a great lens. We live in MT and many years the growing season is just not long enough to really ripen our tomatoes. Never even considered a "Green Mary".

    My plants got attacked by powdery mildew this season so I was left with about 20 lbs of green tomatoes. I made green tomato mincemeat and it came out great. Perfect for mincemeat pies and tarts (original recipes for mincemeat call for beef suet hence the "meat" in the name. I've substituted vegetable oil for the suet with no significant taste difference.) Thanks for the great recipes. I'll have to try some of those next season.
  • SudokuNut Jul 24, 2011 @ 7:44 pm | delete
    Thanks for the recipes. I will need these at the end of the growing season. Last year our plants were packed with unripened green tomatoes and these recipes would have been perfect.

    We southerners do love our green tomatoes. Their season is almost here. I'm going to have to try the green tomato sauce. It never really occurred to me to use green tomatoes like that. I have used almost ripe green tomatoes in salsa and that was delicious.

    Green tomato casserole is probably my favorite way to eat them. It's perfect for a holiday dinner. I have a pretty good recipe recipe but I think yours sounds better so I'll give it a try.

    In my part of the world we PICKLE them for the winter, and they retain all their goodness (NO boiling!) and taste great too. Plus my wife doesn't like them, so I get to eat them all :) OK, very simple (metric measurements, you can convert them easy enough):

    5 kg green tomatoes, stalks removed, washed

    1 liter vinegar (white, or try malt, never tried it, probably even better!)
    4 liters water

    300 grammes salt
    150 grammes sugar
    1 small sachet of food preservative, potassium sorbate (wine stabilizer)
    1 small sachet sodium benzoate (E211).

    The last four ingredients should be dissolved in the water and wine first. I honestly don't know if the E-numbers are strictly necessary. They are there to inhibit mold, yeast, etc. but I guess you can try boiling and sealing to prevent this too.

    Once the mixture is dissolved, place all the vegetables in a plastic drum with a lid, pour over the water (you will find it covers it exactly - hopefully!) and the put a plate or something on top, with a weight on, so the veg is kept under water. Put the lid on, but no need to seal hermetically.

    And that's it! It's ready in about 3 weeks, maybe sooner if you prick the tomatoes with a pin beforehand. Also, you can replace any part of the tomatoes with other seasonal veg - cauliflower, carrots, small onions, bell peppers and of course gherkins (dills). Have tried all those. Also, for more taste, put some parsley, dill, pepper, garlic, whatever you fancy in the solution.

    This is called tur?ija, or some variant thereof in the Balkans and in Turkey, and it's how people survive the winter!

    I confess to not being a big fan of green tomatoes. Therefore, I will pass this tip along; Green tomatoes will ripen if the kids accidentally picked the whole lot. The best way to ripen them is to put them in a box, throw a newspaper or towel over top and store in a dark place. I cooked in restaurants for years and the owner bought boxes of green tomatoes which we ripened using that method.

    I admit that green tomatoes did not appeal to me at all before checking out your lens! The video on "Fried Green Tomatoes" may just have changed my mind. The Green Tomato Casserole also looks delicious. Overall a very informative and eye-appealing lens.

    Congratulations on LOTD! I love tomatoes no matter what color...and green fried tomatoes are a favorite of mine...I don't have a particular recipe, I'm one to invent as I go along...LOL

    Congratulations on LOTD! Thanks for ALL the work you do on Squidoo. I like fried green tomatoes and eggplant. I LOVE my Vidalia chopper...I use it for just about any vegetable and recently used it to make fresh homemade salsa. Enjoy your day!

    I did not know that green tomatoes can make such fantastic recipes. I have always used ripe red tomatoes. Great ideas on the subject.

    Thanks for some great ideas.

    Thanks for the recipes. I see you have a basset, too (Howie). My rescue bassets are the reason I need green tomato recipes--they recently discovered the tomato plants so I ended up picking all the tomatoes before they did.

    Great lens! My mother cooked green tomatoes a lot when I was growing up. Very good to eat!

    I have green tomatoes and now the summer is over and I don't think I've much hope of them ripening. I had thought they were inedible so thank you for giving me some ideas to save them!
  • Mickie_G Sep 9, 2010 @ 4:59 pm | delete
    I highly recommend the green tomato sauce. It freezes very well and is very easy to make.
  • aesta1 Sep 8, 2010 @ 10:16 pm | delete
    I love fried green tomatoes and I usually sprinkle it with grated Parmeesan cheese.
  • Mickie_G Sep 9, 2010 @ 5:01 pm | delete
    Yum, must try them with the Parmesan! I also heard that if you mix a little cornstarch in the coating mix, it will stick better. Or was the tip to coat the green tomato slice with the cornstarch before adding the coating? Hmm. Must find out.

    My tomato plant got damaged in the wind. I just made the pasta sauce and it is really good.

    I just finished re-reading Fannie Flagg's book. Always such a good read. And finally tried Fried Green Tomatoes - delicious!

    Yes, it is a good book. I think it will remain a classic southern novel.

    The Green Tomato Pasta Sauce is wonderful! It is so easy to make, too.

    Thanks for the Blessing!

    I've never seen recipes for green tomatoes before, but they look great - I have started growing tomatoes, and, in the English weather, do get stuck with lots of unripe ones, so now I can use them. I only knew that they could be pickled, but didn't much fancy that.

    Great lens, I have 5* it favourited and lensrolled.

    I have never tried frying green tomatoes. But my tomatoes are not ripening this here. This has never happened. I just might these recipes.
  • OhMe Sep 1, 2009 @ 9:34 am | delete
    I love Fried Green Tomatoes and your recipe sounds wonderful. I will definitely be trying the Green Tomato Casserole recipe but it may be next year because all our tomatoes are about gone. I had to laugh when you made the statement about children picking the green ones. My grandson has been known to do just that. Lensrolling this great recipe lens to my Tomato Pie lens. Thank you.

    Wow, I didn't know there were other ways to manage this besides frying. I laughed at the "if your kids get overzealous" idea in the intro. That may have happened here once or twice....or 100x...lol! 5* and rolling to squidoo.com/uncookedpastasauce
