Green Tomato Ideas

[grammynelliebelle]

Some of our vines have died off leaving some nice size green tomatoes. I cleaned out the dead vines and have almost a dozen good sized green tomatoes. Any ideas for them? TIA Grammy

I have never used this recipe, but I love green tomato mincemeat! It tastes like a raisin pie!

FRIED GREEN TOMATOES!!!

slice them however you want (thick or thin - I prefer a 1/4" slice)
dredge in cornstarch then a cornmeal/flour mixture (seasoned with salt, pepper, pinch of garlic, pinch of onion powder)

get your oil nice and hot and drop these babies in. just a few slices at a time - you don't really want to cover the whole pan, leave some room for the oil to completely surround them.

when the tomatoes are golden on one side flip

when they are golden on the other side remove to a rack to drain

season them a bit if they need it

I like mine with just a shot of ranch.

Cut them into wedges and pickle them. We use a refidgerator dill pickle mix and they are soooo good!

ooh, I'm going to fry my green tomato tonight...I accidentally picked it while looking to see if it had blossom end rot (it doesn't). It's a pretty one, too...sad that it's green...

I vote fried green tomatoes. I get teased because I go around and beg friends for the green ones. I was raised on them but here in Michigan very few people know how good they are.

Mmmmm... yummy! Fried green tomatoes are the best!!

The worst part is the mess and the smell that lingers in your house.

But it's worth it!

We did ours in egg/milk and then flour or crushed saltines. We always soaked the slices in salt water before cooking too.... not sure why?
