The End Of The Road
We have watered them, loved them, wooed them, , covered them with warm blankets, and BEGGED them to PULLLEEEESE ripen. But I admit defeat. It is just too cold to ask them to perform the impossible. So today, I picked about 100 green tomatoes to add to the 30 or 40 that I had previously picked up off the ground and brought in.
And I made a fried green tomato for the first time. It was okay. I wouldn't crave another one, but I wouldn't pass it up if I was hungry, either. I've found a few different variations on how to make them. This was trial #1 and I still have about 139 green tomatoes for further experiments.
And there's always Green Tomato Cake, Green Tomato Raspberry Jam, Indian Style Green Tomatoes and Vegetables Over Rice,...

I've thought about trying fried green tomatoes. Probably something about the movie. :) The ones you made look great. Maybe I'll be able to try that soon.
It's hard to imagine what you are going to do with all those tomatoes! :)

What about Green Tomato Chutney? There are lots of recipes if you Google - but here's one by Nigella (haven't tried it though - normally make apple chutney from Clive's Mum's recipe)

Carol, I am certain that you will find ways to consume those tomatoes!
I'm in the same boat!
Thanks for a great laugh [final photo] AND for the recipes. I'll give them serious consideration.
Love your tomato portrait--the first photo.
Wow that is a lot of tomatoes!
I love fried green tomatoes! I often feel terribly out of place here in the South, but green tomatoes is one topic my neighbors and I can agree on!
Chani,
I'm going to put most of the tomatoes in bags and newspapers so that they'll "ripen". Tomatoes that have turned red that way are not the greatest, but they're okay in a salad.
I'd be interested in hearing what you think of fried green tomatoes if you ever get a chance to taste them.
Dancing,
I have never been a chutney fan. I guess that I could make it as a gift for others, though...
Border Explorer,
We should have a green-tomato-cooking party!
Otowi,
It sure is a lot of tomatoes! I'm going to put most in bags in a cool place so they can turn red. I hope that they do it in stages, not all at once!
Thomas,
If we lived near each other, I'd perfect my fried green tomato recipe and make LOTS of them for you.
