Green Tomatoes

[amberleaf]

I searched everywhere for a recipe that was not a pickle of chutney and came across this to use up green tomatoes. OK so it is a bit late for this year but it is easy enough to remember for next

Fried Green Tomatoes

a couple of litres of  water
2 tbsp. salt

1 cup flour
vegetable oil, lard or bacon fat
4-6 medium green tomatoes, unpeeled and sliced


In a mixing bowl, mix salt and water. Soak the sliced tomatoes in the brine mixture for 30-40 minutes. Drain and drop slices a few at time into a bag in which you have placed the seasoned flour. Shake thoroughly to coat. Heat the oil in a large pan or wok  and carefully place the slices into the hot oil. Brown until crisp on both sides.

green tomato tarte tatin is super duper as well - easy to find a recipe I should think

Yes google comes up with loads of suggestions. Thanks for reminding me - I have both green and red hanging about and really need to do summat with them.

Win one, lose one - we have no green toms left - so no glam recipes!
