450 lbs. of green tomatoes

[Phat Mack]

A lot of astonishing things in the mag this month, not the least of which is that Zee has 450 lbs of green tomatoes still on the vine in Montana. I don't think they'll ripen before they're ruined, but I'm here to help. Ray's thinking fried green tomatoes, but I have a couple of better ideas.

1. Make them into curry, then freeze the curry. Green tomatoes are great in curry, can be frozen in individual portions, then nuked and poured over (in Ray's case, brown organic) rice. Yum.

2. Pickle them into chow chow. Some people make chow chow out of cabbage, but it's best made from green tomatoes. Haven't had any since my grandmother died, but trust me on this, green tomato chow chow is great on hamburgers. Double Yum!

If anybody has any better ideas, please tell Ray. Soon.
