Tomato Season - the Master Thread

Stashed from another thread.

Any green tomato ideas other than fried? I’m thinking chutney, pickle, preserves. I see one for a raw green tomato sauce.

We made this last year to use up our green tomatoes.

@shrinkrap You might enjoy trying Green Tomato Pachadi (Chutney) since you enjoy the hyderabadi tomato chutney.

I haven’t made a green tomato crumble or crisp. It’s been on my radar a long time. https://www.edibleboston.com/blog/2019/10/31/caramelized-green-tomato-crisp?format=amp

Still on my radar but that looks like a lot of work, or maybe just ingredients ai don’t have, for something that keeps 5 days. I’m trying to figure out how to get some of the same flavors in a simpler chutney. The tamarind sounds especially intriguing, wnd I happen to have some pods.

Made some tamarind paste for green tomato chutney
Found this on YouTube under "raw tomato chutney "

Used a NYT tamarind paste “recipe”, and was directed to another recipe in the comments!

I had all the ingredients, but it’s not as pretty.

I’ve been putting off this recipe for years because this picture suggested I would be peeling and coring pristine, round tomatoes of the same size, then leaving them whole to bathe in TPSTOOO, but it turns out they are quartered and last for weeks! I’ve seen lots of confit recipes using cherries and plum tomatoes, but has anyone used any of the juicer tomatoes?

BTW, there seems to be a One box problem with a message about the preview.

I finally decided to “sun dry” these Principe Borghese tomatoes, and the daytime temp drops below 90 for the first time in weeks !

those in the area may be familiar with Dirty Girl produce, especially their excellent dry farmed tomatoes. this year they are struggling to get to tomato season. i buy from them every week so was dismayed to learn this. there is a fundraiser to help them get over the hurdle: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-our-farm-help-us-reach-tomato-season

Wow! Scary to think that such a popular product struggles.

Can anyone offer any clarification regarding this bit?

The tomatoes; not so round, not so pristine. I ended up using about six.

" The idea is for the pieces to be big enough to hold up to the long cooking time but not so big that the tomato doesn’t break down."

I think this should be good.

At about 90 minutes

I ended buying the Gjelina cookbook on Kindle, which was $2.69 on Kindle today.

Just made Hetty McKinnon’s Dumpling Tomato Salad with Chile Crisp Vinaigrette and it was delicious. I used dumplings from a local small family business and added some chopped romaine. This will definitely be repeated this summer!

Interesting! Especially if room temp works. Any thoughts about serving them room temp and how long they will be enjoyable that way?
