Despite my best wishes, a significant number of my tomatoes remained green, ripe bananas and warm windowsill be damned. As such I have been on the hunt for green tomato recipes.
A few people have recommended green chutney, but having previously tried it, I am not a huge fan. So the first recipe for this year’s green tomatoes, is salsa verde.
So far, so delicious.
Ingredients
- 4 red chillies
- 1kg chopped green tomatoes
- 2 onions
- 3 garlic cloves
- Handful of coriander
- 2 limes
- 1 1/2 tsps ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 3/4 fine sea salt
- 1 tsp ground pepper
This recipe is based on one from Yummly.co.uk, but I have amended the quantities to suit my preferences.
Instructions
- Deseed the chillies and chop finely. Wash hands carefully before and after.
- Chop the green tomatoes, finely chop the onions and the garlic cloves. Chop the coriander and its stems.
- Place everything in a large saucepan, bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
- At this point, sterilise your jars in preparation for sealing. Or prepare containers for placing into a freezer.
