[magid]

rolls, grape juice
hummus
roasted carrots, golden beets, and onions
mashed neeps and taters
sauerkraut
sauteed onions, spinach, and ground turkey with preserved lemon, almonds, raisins, and black pepper
twice-baked pumpkin with boozy apples, cinnamon, and maple syrup

I still haven't figured out what i want to do with the green tomatoes from this week's share; suggestions welcome.

Are there options?

Is there really anything to do with green tomatoes aside from frying them? *grin*

Twice baked pumpkin with stuff sounds fantastic - how do you first-bake your pumkin, in medium chunks, cut up enough to fit into the oven, hollow out a smaller pumpkin and bake whole?

Well, I could pickle them, or make them into pie (apparently they're apple-ish). And I don't have bacon grease to make authentic fried green tomatoes...

I don't like peeling winter squash raw, except butternut, because the skin's so textured, so I hack them in half, get the seeds out, and bake that way. I had two pumpkins, and pulled one out a bit sooner than I should have, so it was mostly done, but not quite (the other I mashed and froze, likely to become Thanksgiving pie), so I wanted to do something else to it, hence the second baking.

Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe!

Also there's a green tomato pie that uses I think Swiss cheese.

I reread that over Shabbat, actually!

Interesting sound pie. I'm not sure what I'd expect that to be like.
I should just ask Chef Google, I suppose.

And shavuah tov to you too!

Had your choice of reading been inspired by your produce?

I like that book. The idea of telling a story not at all chronologically but in order of what information needs to be disclosed at what point from what perspective is so right up my alley.

Will you modify the recipe for fried green tomatoes that's in the back?

At http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/fried_green_tomatoes is a completely vegetarian recipe that looks good, too.

Yesterday was great! Feels like a shavua tov to me. I hope for you as well.

Sorry, I meant completely kosher, not completely vegetarian.

Here's a simpler recipe, though how it works without eggs I don't quite get:

Fried Green Tomatoes

4 large green tomatoes
2 cups plain white corn meal
1 1/2 tablespoon salt
Pinch of black pepper
1/2 cup cooking oil

Yield: 4 servings

Wash the tomatoes and pat dry. Cut tomatoes in 1/4-inch slices. Sprinkle
with salt and pepper. Dip each slice in corn meal and lay aside on waxed
paper. Heat oil. Fry tomato slices until golden brown. Drain on paper
towels. Serve hot.

I found that recipe in old mail while trying to find the pie information. The pie involves breadcrumbs, vinegar, brown sugar, salt and pepper, the tomatoes, cheese, and onions.

Thank you!

I assume that the tomatoes have just enough liquid to make the coating stick. Or something like that.

I've been dithering about this enough that a couple of the tomatoes are starting a pale blush... perhaps it's time to make some kind of mixed relish...
