Green Tomatoes: Not Just for Frying
When presented with a green tomato, most folks in the southern United States think one thing: Fried. Not me. My family (and my wife's) have Eastern European roots, and our people like them pickled. This past Saturday, I picked up a few from Lightsey Farms at the downtown farmers' market.
For the recipe, I basically used this one, without the dill and with a bit less chili. The only ingredients are salt, sugar, white vinegar, garlic, coriander seed and chilies. I heated the brine before pouring over the tomatoes, which I left whole.
They will rest in the fridge for a week or two before I give them a try. Expect them to take a bit longer than a cucumber. You can slice them if you want to speed things up, but they won't last quite as long before becoming over-pickled. Wish me luck!
