Christian Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 "Secret's in the sauce." I love that film! thats one of my favourite lines! I found this 'recipe' - These fried green tomatoes are made with eggs and cornmeal or bread crumbs. INGREDIENTS: 4 to 6 green tomatoes, sliced 1/4-inch thick salt and pepper flour for dusting 2 eggs, beaten cornmeal or bread crumbs bacon grease or vegetable oil PREPARATION: Salt and pepper the tomato slices; dust lightly with flour. Dip slices in beaten egg, letting excess drip off, then coat well with meal or crumbs. Fry in hot grease or oil until browned, turning gently (about 3 minutes each side).

Ladylucan Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 if they still green, take them off the plant and stick them on the windowsill on a bit of kitchen paper, x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 There's a recipe for Green Tomato Chutney in Delia's Complete Cookery course book. Sounds nice but I've never tried it myself (yet!). If anyone's interested I'll post the recipe on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I'm sure you'll have lots of takers, Snowy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Is it the one with cinnamon in it? - I made that about 3 years ago and it is lovely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 No, no cinnamon in this one Just checked. But there's also a recipe for Old Dowerhouse chutney, and also Green Tomato sauce - both use green tomatoes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyBoo Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Glad I'm not the only one with a greenhouse full of big, fat, plump GREEN tomatoes! Did you also see the thing on the BBC website about the plague of slugs! Something like 64 per metre rising to 100 slugs per metre they've measured! That's why ALL I have is green tomatoes and nothing else except some pathetic looking garlic and three pumpkins plants covered in flowers that then get slugged!! Next year..........
