"I found out what the secret to life is: friends. Best friends."--Ninny Threadgoode (Fried Green Tomatoes)
Okay, so the quote isn't relevent to this post in any way, but it's a great movie. So you could try some of these recipes and watch the movie at the same time!
It was a bad year for tomatoes, no doubt about it. My plants were covered with fruit but only three of them ever ripened. So what next? No sense crying over green tomatoes, I had to make a plan. I found a great website with tons of ideas and uses for them (they're super-firm, with a very mild, citrusy flavor). Had to try them fried, of course. I used recipe #1 with the buttermilk lime dressing--delicious, but the dredge needed more salt and they'd be better dipped in sour cream ranch. Also tried recipe #10, the green tomato salsa--yummy, mild, very fresh tasting and would be great on nachos. For spice-lovers, I'd add some chopped up jalapeno.
