What else to make with green tomatoes?

[Donw]

Our first hard frost last night so I now have almost a bushel of green tomatoes. We already know to how make fried green tomatoes, pickled green tomatoes, and green tomato relish but we are looking for other ideas.

[ComfortablyNumb]

Mrs CN puts them in a cardboard box to ripen.

Thanks. We already have about a bushel going through the ripening process similar to your method. Just trying to figure out unique things to do with the other bushel.

Ninfa's is a very successful Mexican food restaurant-turned-citywide-chain in the Houston area. The recipe for its signature "Nifa's Green Sauce" leaked, and it's wonderful w/ tortilla chips or even as a topping on other foods. I make it every time I can get my hands on green tomatoes.

Ninfa’s Green Sauce
Ingredients:

• 3 medium-sized green tomatoes, coarsely chopped (you can substitute yellow if you can’t find green ones, but never use red)
• 4 tomatillos, cleaned and chopped
• 1 to 2 jalapenos, stemmed and coarsely chopped
• 3 small garlic cloves
• 3 medium-sized ripe avocados, peeled, pitted, and sliced
• 4 sprigs cilantro
• 1 tsp. of salt
• 1 1/2 cups of sour cream

Method:

1. Combine chopped tomatoes, tomatillos, jalapenos, and garlic in a saucepan. Bring to a boil (tomatoes provide the liquid), reduce heat, and simmer 10 to 15 minutes.
2. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. Place tomato mixture with the avocados, cilantro, and salt in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.
4. Pour into a bowl and stir in sour cream. Refrigerate.

Makes 4 to 5 cups

This recipe seems to me like it would be good or even better is you did not cook the ingredients in step 1.
I guess in the end its a souped up guacamole if you left the ingredients in step 1 uncooked

Thank you very much. I notice you have been a member since the beginning and only have a couple of posts. To me, this means the question is important to you and I will print the recipe.

[Donw]

Thank you for the recipe. Sounds great.

Green tomato pie. I haven't had it in years but tastes a lot like apple pie. Sorry, I have no special recipe.

My mother and grandmother made a relish every fall, it's main ingredient was green tomatoes. They called it chow chow. I could eat the stuff right out of the jar. The sad thing is I have no idea how they made it.

[smokin fool]

Wow, we must be related somehow, this was going to be my suggestion.
My mother makes a fantastic green tomato chow chow, learned from her mother.
I should ask for the recipe, like you I have no idea how to make it.

[Oak Smoke]

Please ask for it. I've waited too long, both my mom and grandmother have passed on.

[Mr. Bones]

I'm used to chow chow, as wail...they's a whole lotta different ways, but also lotsa free receipts out there, if'n ya google up, some...find a basic one, then add/omit whatever, make it yer own legendary deal!

Green tomato and apple chutney. I just canned some of this. It’s amazing:

[Raven Rock]

Is this site great or what?

[Mr. Bones]

If this is a survey, my vote is Great, especially vs. or what?

[smokin fool]

Found this online, it has all the ingredients my mother uses especially in using the red pepper. Most recipes leave out red pepper and some even the onion.
Hope you can read this, will check with Mom this weekend
One thing I did notice is my mother slices the onion and leaved in rings, same with the pepper.
She does not dice them.

[Donw]

Thank you. Going to give this recipe a try.

[Donw]

Thank you all for the great ideas. Time to get out the big pot and make some of them!

[Mr. Bones]

Or Insta Pot, Don...

Cain't rightly remeber if'n yall have a pressure cooker

Might I suggest canned dilled green tomatoes?

I did 2 versions this year - regular dill and dill with fresh basil and some dried basil.

The basil version was the hands down favorite!!!

[smokin fool]

Me likey!

[Donw]

Thank you. Already did several jars of pickled but didn’t even think of adding dill. Will probably make a few more jars with dill and also with the dill and basil. Our basil plants were generous this year.

Skip I had never heard of green tomato pie until I started writing this article on southern tomato pie. I was shocked to find out that it was a sweet pie...or that there were other "tomato pies" in the world that weren't what I had always enjoyed. Having lived in the South my entire life, tomato pie was a savory dish and just like it sounds. Tomatoes in a pie. The filing is almost always a concoction of mayo (Dukes, if you're from the South) and cheese. But a green tomato, sweet pie, that is something new. I will have to make one this summer as I have an abundance of tomatoes!
