Fried Green Tomatoes - farnfam - 07-30-2012 Can you believe I've never tried them before? Two great big green ones fell off my plant when i was pruning today so I put in the curry. They were so good, I may pick some more! Re: Fried Green Tomatoes - Harborwitch - 07-31-2012 Fried green tomatoes, basil leaves, bacon, fried egg, on really good toasted roll. MMMMMMMM. I could eat them every day. Re: Fried Green Tomatoes - farnfam - 07-31-2012 Do you fry them in butter? How bout in a BLT? Re: Fried Green Tomatoes - iBcookin - 07-31-2012 OMG, that sounds delicious! Re: Fried Green Tomatoes - cjs - 07-31-2012 darn, I wish I liked these - I've tried them over the years cooked this way and that and I still am not a fan. The following recipe is one that I worked on for the Farmer's Market Book and I did like these two methods. * Exported from MasterCook * Green Tomato Hash 2 cups leftover chopped beef -- pork or ham 1 cup diced raw potatoes 2 tablespoons butter 1/2 cup diced green tomatoes 1/4 cup chopped onion salt and pepper -- to taste Combine ingredients; mix well. Turn into a buttered casserole and bake at 325° for 1 hour. Serves 4. Description: "Baked green tomato hash casserole can be made with leftover meat, beef, or pork, and potatoes." ---------- I worked on this one, also - * Exported from MasterCook * Green Tomato Soup With Country Ham 2 tablespoons butter 4 ounces country ham or smoked ham -- diced (4 to 6) 1 small onion -- diced 2 cloves garlic -- minced 4 cups chicken broth 8 medium green tomatoes -- peeled and chopped 2 medium red tomatoes -- peeled and chopped 1 jalapeno pepper -- seeds and stem removed, minced 1/4 teaspoon celery salt 1 dash Tabasco sauce -- optional salt and pepper -- to taste Heat butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat; add ham, onion, and garlic. Sauté, stirring, until onion is tender. Add chicken broth, chopped green and red tomatoes, and minced jalapeno pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes. Working in batches, pulse in a blender or food processor until almost smooth. Pour back into the saucepan and add celery salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Taste and add salt and pepper and Tabasco sauce, as desired. Serves 4 to 6.

Re: Fried Green Tomatoes - farnfam - 07-31-2012 Thanx, Jean! I fried them in butter till they were soft and a little browned. Unlike frying ripe tomatoe slices, there was no "skin" The taste reminded me very much of tomatillos, I might try to make a green salsa out of them The tomato plants are going to be in danger if I get carried away with this. They are really good Re: Fried Green Tomatoes - Mare749 - 07-31-2012 Thanks for the idea, Cis. Never thought to try them in a curry! The only way we have had them is breaded and fried in oil, and we did like them that way. Re: Fried Green Tomatoes - Harborwitch - 07-31-2012 Jean those sound really good. I fry mine in olive oil or some bacon drippings if I'm being really decadent. Our dogs will go out and pick the green tomatoes if they get a chance. |
