Shall I throw away my green tomatos?

Hi di, I tore them away from the plant one day ago and I did not have the heart to throw them away. I make a pepperonata throwing peppers in hot olive oil with a clove of garlic. Sometimes I add some fresh mushrooms. How do you do it? The addition of my baby tomatoes sounds great.

I don't follow the 'proper' recipe I just slice the onions and let them colour in olive oil and then add the diced peppers and tomatoes. Sometimes I vary it by adding red tomatoes and even a diced potato too. I make it with whatever vegetables I happen to have here that need using up.

That´s my idea of a recipe Di! I get the idea and my tomatoes will not be wasted. I happen to have a lonely zuchinni from my veggie plot so I´ll make the sauce and pour it over the steamed zuchinni (al dente) I have my lunch! I have some leftover cooked chicken from yesterday so I´ll even have the right amount of proteins. Thanks, luv.

Please send me the recipe. I just asked you to be my friend! That sounds like a sort of chutnet. Please tell me also how do you use it. It is SO wonderful to have friends all over the world!

Thanks for the recipes, friend. This pictures is awesome.

Yes it is really wonderful, we can share so many ideas together, i love it here. I sent you the recipe in pm, i can find some others if you don't like that one. My mother is doing some different kinds, others than that i sent you, others are with sugar in. You can mix the green tomatoes with carrots or something like pepper, but it's shape is circle, i'll put a picture with this post. That jar i made picture on is without green tomatoes, because it has sugar in and it's only green pepper cut on parts, carrots and cauliflower. We eat it with potatoes or rice, white beans or potatoes with green beans, but not mixed together. It's in different plate and every kind of dish which is possible to be eaten with pickle will be good with the tomatoes.

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of fried green tomatoes. I just never got a liking to them or fried eggplant. Enjoy your fried green tomatoes, you should rent the movie to go along with the meal.

I´m making fried grren tomatoes tomorrow, thanks to the recipe You people have given me.. This will be a first for me. I have only eaten rewd tomatoes.

I like fried eggplants but I make them ripe and with no batter. I just cut them in rounds and fry them in olive oil.

I don't recall the song, but I LOVE some good jambalaya...be sure to let me know how the fried tomatoes turned out...

I love fried green tomatoes. Now you have gotten me wanting some LOL

THey were very easy to make!

Many people here have given me ways of eating them green. I knew that could be done but in my country we only eat them red. I´m glad I learn so much from different cultures here.

It´s a good idea, but I´will try out some green tomato recipes mylotters gave me here

You sound like a very ambitious lady.

I think that is what I will do. It´s easy and I am tired of being in the kitchen after making apricot jam for every person I know

I did check out the pic and I like the idea of throwing in any veggie you have and make a dish:)

I will do green tomato chutney in the Fall. But these were just a couple that fell off the plants. I followed my friend´s advices here and made a couple of nice dishes with them. I took picture to show them. Sroll up.

I love red tomatoes, specially homegrown as I will get them ripe from the plant. But in my country we don´t eat green tomatoes. I posted this remembering the book and I got so many answers that I will not lose any one of my wonderful crop

I made one of them fried with bread crumbs instead of flour. Delicious!!!

I wiill have to try them. I have been reading books and I have grown curious about some recipes from the south of the US. Some date back when the French were there. It´s so much fun to trace the genealogy of some traditional dishes.

I forgot to send the picture of my version of the green fried tomatoes. I used breadcrumbs

What is chow chow? I checked fried green tomatoes and they look beautiful. I hope they are as good as they look. I have only eaten ripe tomatoes until now.

chow chow is a type of relish.

What is black sauce? It seems I´m learning a lot about recipes thanks to the green tomatoes

hello again dear, Black sauce is almost same with soy sauce but a bit thicker in concentration and a little bit sweeter than soy sauce. It's one variety of sauce...check it from the grocery dear ,i am sure it's in your place. have a great day

Hi friend, I have had a couple of wonderful I deas that I have put to work. My friends in the south od the US told me about bried green tomatoes. I made them and they are delicious. Msdianait went farther and sent me a pepperonata that included the green tomatoes, pimientos and all the other yummy things. I made the dish and took a picture to post here. I´ll post the picture again so you can see it. I placed the pepperonata over a steamed zuchinni.

Hiya margi, I have just had my Dinner but looking at the Photo made me feel hungry again. What a nice arrangement. That is a good Recipe. It looks delicious really delicious what else can I say you leave me without words to describe it again. I did comment on your Photo though so that counts as well eh? Hope you enjoy Aruba and come back feeling even tons better than before.

Many friends know recipes with green tomatoes. Scroll up and down in this post. Take care!

If you want them ripe sooner,you can add some apples among them!

I have tomatoes just the right ripeness now because I´m growing thwm in the backyard. These are a couple that fell off the plants and I don´t want to throw them away. Many people here gave me recipes for green tomatoes. I´ll give it a try.

I´ll do that tomorrow. I have enough green tomatoes to give a try to each recipe my friends here have given me. I understand these fried green tomatoes are a recipe that is typical from US South.

I did them and also another dish that a friend here suggested. I took a picture of both and you can come back to this post and see them. Both were awesome!

I have had some answers here that green tomatoes are edible. If you scroll up and down, you can even find awesome recipes. It seems that green tomatoes are part of the indian cuisine

I ate both tomatos with recipes that my friends gave me here and nothing happened. I´m still alive and in good helth and found both recipes delicious. I am not sad for all the green tomatos I threw away in the past.

I make jam with red ones but as this is the first time in decades that I have planted tomatoes it is also the first time I have green ones. Please, what is your recipe for green tomato jam? Is it just tomato and sugar or you have to boil them first?
