New Member/Recipe--'Fried Green Tomatoes' :) Hi helene

[Guest guest]

Welcome in Helene,

Now that is one great recipe but I'll tell you trying to find a green tomato in

LA is next to impossible. I have a produce guy at Whole Foods that will save

one for me if and when he can find it. I would love to fry one up with your

batter in peanut oil. I have my fingers crossed I can come across a green

tomato one day soon........Smiles! Donna

Lately, I've been on a fried green tomatoes kick, and make them much

like the recipe in the movie of the same name: I take the biggest and

greenest unripened tomatoes from my garden, wash them well, and slice

thin: dip in beaten egg or egg substitute, dredge in flour, then corn

meal, fry in peanut oil 'til golden brown on both sides, drain on

paper towels, and season with salt-n-pepper to taste--delish!

 

And just a few hours ago, we harvested our first batch of green

peppers and concord grapes--The entire house smells like

Manischewitz

 

By the way, I'm new here--my name is Helene and I'm a stay-at-home

mother of 3 ages, 13, 9 and 3--my husband Peter is a special

education teacher and newly ordained Anglican priest, and we've been

married 14 years--we live in NJ. Hobbies include, but are not

limited to, reading, writing, music, and gardening. I've been a

vegetarian/vegan since 1987--my family are nowhere as diligent as I

am, but the best I can do is set a good example.

 

Looking forward to participating in any and all discussion as much as

time allows.

 

Blessings,

Helene

Hi Donna, and thanks for the warm welcome--

 

Ya know, I hear that alot from friends on the West Coast--how

difficult it is to obtain certain produce we here in the Garden

State/Mid-Atlantic region take for granted-In fact, I'd be more than

happy to send you a batch, but they'd probably ripen before they got

there--lol.

 

Oh, yuck---apologies for the sudden pained expression on my face:

hubby is watching TV and that wretched, " eat-steak, eat-steak, eat a

big 'ole steer " Boston Market commercial just came on and it's making

me gag--why PETA hasn't gotten that pulled yet is beyond me--

 

Blessings,

Helene

Actually, when I lived in Portland, OR I always had plenty of green

tomatoes, it seemed to never fail to get cold before all the tomatoes

could ripen!
