Green Tomatoes

Well, it is that time of the year. The summer was slow and so all the tomatoes haven't quite ripened and it is time to put in the winter crops, so out the tomatoes come. But, what to do with green tomatoes? Look down around the blog for a few ideas - in fact, I am still working on two more recipes. There are many recipes on the web for relish and pickles so I won't travel there.
Fried Green Tomatoes are a different story. At first, you can either dip them or not dip them in one egg beaten with 2 tablespoons of water.Then there are generally three coatings to try: flour, bread crumbs or corn meal. "Bread crumbs" covers a ,lot of territory also. I tried all six methods and, unfortunately, did not like any of them. The best of the lot was egg dip and bread crumbs, but perhaps my slices were too thick because they hardly got cooked before the bread crumbs were, literally, burned toast. Perhaps I can find an "expert" fried green tomato chef somewhere.......
