Notes: Each fall I have MANY green tomatoes left in my summer vegetable garden and I am always looking for new and interesting ways to use them (e.g., hot pepper/green tomato jardinières; baked [vs fried] green tomatoes; etc.). This year I found two AWESOME recipes –– and gave some of each to Aly & Brian.
I quadrupled this recipe (had a LOT of green tomatoes!), added quartered (not peeled) red bliss potatoes to enhance "hearty-ness" and froze some for a cold winter day.
