Green tomato question
Not sure if this belongs here, but . . .
I pulled up all the dying tomato plants and gathered a bowl-ful of green tomatoes. I know people eat fried green tomatoes, but I never have. I am going to make the garlic-onion-zucchini-tomato stuff DH loves and I am wondering about adding the green tomatoes for extra veg content and so they don't go to waste. Any thoughts??

I had to pick my tomatoes while green so the critters didn't get them first. I put them on a window sill and let them ripen there. I'v also tried my hand at fried green tomatoes - not bad. Check on line for recipes for green tomatoes. And, yes, I'd put some in my recipe.

Another way to ripen tomatoes or fruit like peaches or pears, is to put them in a brown paper bag and leave them on the counter or a shelf. They release a bit of a gas that helps the ripening process. Also, don't ever store tomatoes in the refrigerator, they ripen and store better at room temperature.
