101 uses for green tomatoes

Post: # 209069Post Gem »

1 - tomato chutney

If anyone has any recipes I could use for the 10 - 15kgs of green tomatoes I could use then please post, I already have 2 dozen jars of chutney and I can only eat so much of the stuff (as yummy as it is!)

2 Fried Green Tomatoes - I'm sure I've seen a recipe on here somewhere - and you don't even have to have the Whistle Stop Cafe!
3 Wrap them in tissue and put them oin a drawer until they go red
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

I agree...too much chutney can be difficult to use up...I had never thought of adding it to stews like Nigel Slater though! Will try it! :iconbiggrin:

I now have red tomato, allotment, beetroot and apple & green tomato chutney...so alternatives are always welcome! :wink:
