Since the temperature has left the mid-80s and not likely to return there anytime soon, it looks like my fall tomato crop isn't going to ripen. Any thoughts on what to do with a bunch of green tomatoes? Fried green tomatoes are out because I'm trying to become less fat. Pickles and a chutney are possible, but any other healthy-ish recipes are welcome.

Pick them and let them sit on the counter. They will ripen.

I like salsa with green tomatoes.

sliced with burrata, a really good olive oil and some cracked black pepper.

They will ripen, but they won't mature. They won't taste like a vine ripened tomato.

Never had that taste problem with mine.....what will they taste like?

Dehydrate them and add to soups and stews?

Mealy have have giant white cores in them.

Neither happened with mine last year. I had a bunch and I'm the only one in the house that eats them. One or two of the last ones were so ripe seeds had started sprouting in them. They tasted no different than the earlier fresh picked "vine ripened" ones.

Green Tomato Casserole
Layer sliced green tomatoes, sliced onions, and bread crumbs in a buttered dish. Sprinkle salt and pepper on each layer. Dot with butter. Bake in 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes. After taking it out of the oven, top with grated cheese. (I usually wait until it's on the plate to add cheese.) Easy and delicious.

Did some of you miss the part where I said I'm trying to become less fat?

Green tomato relish is good
