Delicious Recipes for Using Green Tomatoes - Share Your Favorites with Us!

In summary, popular recipes for using green tomatoes include fried green tomatoes, green tomato salsa, green tomato chutney, and green tomato pie. Green tomatoes can be substituted for ripe tomatoes in many recipes, but may result in a slightly different flavor and texture. To determine if a green tomato is ripe enough for cooking, look for a fully grown and firm tomato with a slight yellow or pink blush. In addition to their tasty uses, green tomatoes also offer health benefits such as vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and low calorie and high water content. And if you have excess green tomatoes, they can be frozen for up to 6 months for later use.

Hi have a friend/customer who is looking for recipes that use green tomatoes. She has oodles and oodles. Anyone have some favorites to share?

TIA!
 
Not a recipe, but a tip!

Take the green tomatoes, and wrap them individually in newspaper. Put them in a box, in one layer, and cover that layer with one more sheet of newspaper.

They will ripen that way - I had garden tomatoes until Christmas last year when I did this! Just check them every week or so to find the ripe ones!

Good tip, but she told me she's already done 2 good-sized boxes like that.
