With the lows below freezing here for several days it became apparent that we needed to bring in our unripe Roma & Mortgage Lifter Tomatoes. Fried Green Tomatoes are really good but we had 20 -30 tomatoes, some quite small... what to do... I did a search for green tomato recipes and took a look at 10 or so. I decided on 3 recipes that happened to all be on the same website. All of these were amazing. The website has reviews from others who've made the recipe, so I made modifications to the recipes based on "our" ingredients and the reviewers suggestions. I substituted our fresh Cayenne peppers for 1/2 of the Jalapeno requirements and green Roma Tomatoes for the Tomatillo requirement. The full recipes are behind those linked words ;~)
Green & Red Tomato Soup
Dinner 2 nights in a row.
I used Tumeric instead of Cumin; 5 cups of broth instead of 7; 3 cloves garlic instead of 1
Ali's Green Sauce
We ate most of 1 with chips tonight, we have 1 more to eat and 1 to freeze. I used 10x the Cilantro & only 1 cup sour cream. I left the seeds in 1/2 the peppers.
Mexina Salsa Verde
We froze 1 full container & used some on tonight's veggies. I used 7 green tomatoes, 3 peppers with seeds & 2 cups of cilantro
