How about a green tomato pie?

Green Tomato Pie

Ingredients:

6 to 8 medium green tomatoes

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon grated lemon peel

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

3/4 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 tablespoon butter

pastry to 9-inch 2-crust pie

Preparation:

Wash the green tomatoes well; peel and slice. In a saucepan, combine tomatoes with lemon juice, peel, salt, and cinnamon. Cook tomato mixture over low heat, stirring frequently. Combine sugar and cornstarch; stir into tomato mixture. Cook mixture until clear, stirring constantly. Add butter, remove from heat, and let stand until slightly cooled. Line a 9-inch pie plate with pastry; pour in tomato mixture. Cover with top pastry, seal edges, crimp, and cut several small slits in crust to allow steam to escape. Bake at 435° for 35 to 45 minutes, or until nicely browned. Serve warm or cooled.  

Answer 3

The green ones are good fried- they are not a sweet tasting as red and a little more firm is all. I've used green tomatoes in omelets, sauteed and added to stir fry, and they are really good in fried corn or boiled into rice.

Answer 6

I love fried green tomatoes.  But, they're somewhat bitter, so you might want to put some sugar on them.  I roll mine in flour, add salt, pepper, and sugar and fry in butter.  Yummy.

Answer 7

I have only had fried green tomatoes once or twice. But I did some a couple of weeks ago with a seasoned panko breading (homemade seasoning not store bought) and sprinkled on a little salt and a then also a little ketchup. Very very yummy.

But the idea of adding them into stir fry sounds very good also. Try adding them 50/50 with red tomatoes and making salsa.
