Hi Kim,
Us southern folk like fried green tomatos, like the movie of the
same name.
Batter green tomato slices like you would fried chicken or catfish
filets and
fry them until golden brown. Have lots of ketchup on hand. The fried
green
tomatos have a delightful tart taste,
happy eating!
If you have green tomatos that you want to ripen all you have to do is
pick 'em bring them inside and let them turn red at room temp. Some
folks put them in a window sill but its not necessary.
