Hey to all you spicey people,

 

Need a little help regarding a TON of green tomatoes. I don't think

they will all ripen in time. So any good spicey ideas? I'm most

curious to hear about pickling options. I love spicey pickles, so I

thought maybe the tomatoes might work? any help would be most

welcome, thanks!

Green tomatoes:

 

5 or 6 green tomatoes

1 egg

cornmeal

mint leaves

honey or agave nectar

 

Dip the tomatoes into the egg and then into the cornmeal to bread

them.

Fry them in olive oil or canola oil. until light golden brown. remove

and put onto paper towel to remove excess oil. sprinkle with a few

mint leaves or add mint oil into egg batter. Drizzle with honey or

agave nectar when ready to serve.

Green Tomato Eggs Benedict:

 

Because green tomatoes are not fully ripe, green tomatoes are tart,

dense and perfect for frying as they have less moisture and hold

their shape. This recipe will yield fragrant disks with thick savory

crusts and a tart, tender interior. Theyfre fantastic with a soft

poached egg on top, and if you want to go for the full calorie, make

a cream/flour gravy to pour on top.

 

 

2 firm green tomatoes cut into 1/4 thick slices

1/4 C cornstarch

1 egg

1/4 C buttermilk

1/4 C cornmeal

1/4 C flour

1/4 C hard cheese grated on a microplane (I use an aged cheddar)

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp Season All (or other seasoning salt)

olive oil for frying

fleur de sel for sprinkling

 

Setup 3 shallow flat bottomed bowls or plates by adding the

cornstarch to one, the egg and buttermilk to the next and the

cornmeal, flour, cheese, paprika and Season All to the last. Beat the

egg mixture and whisk together the cornmeal mixture.

 

Set a wire rack over a baking sheet to catch the fried goods. In a

heavy bottomed frying pan add about 1/4 of oil and heat.

 

While the oil is heating up, salt and pepper each slice of tomato

then dust lightly in cornstarch.

 

When the oil reaches 340 degrees F, dip a slice of tomato in the egg

mixture making sure every nook and cranny is moistened then transfer

to the cornmeal mixture covering and pressing into the mix to make

sure you get a nice thick crust. Gently place it in the hot oil then

repeat with a few more until the pan is full.

 

When you see the edges of the first tomato start to turn golden

brown, gently flip it over using tongs (be careful not to break the

crust on the tomato). Fry until the second side of the tomato is a

nice golden brown then transfer to the wire rack to drain.

 

Sprinkle with some fleur de sel and serve.

 

 

Gold soup:

 

start with 14 - 18 carrots
