Green tomato chutney is yummy! I've mad a batch already but need to find the recipe. I had it at a friends house in New Zealand this past Fall (that's Spring here in the Northern Hemisphere!)

 {Home Grown Food:455} green tomotoes!!

I love fried green tomatoes. Choose 1-3 that are really green, ideally,
with no ripening started. Slice into fairly thick slices, like you would
for eggplant. dredge in egg if you like, then a mix of flour, cornmeal,
salt, pepper, and any spices you like. Pan fry in a skillet with a layer of
oil, on fairly high heat, just under the oil's smoke point, so that the
inside doesn't get soft/mushy while the outside gets brown.
 
My other favorite is green tomato apple pie, AKA vegetarian mince pie. I
prefer more apples than green tomatoes. The last time I made it, I used a
traditional recipe and it was too spicy for my family, so I'm going to try
it again, half-way between an apple pie and a mince pie. Here's one recipe:

,
and here's another that uses up more green tomatoes:

looks great except the carrots which are a bit odd.

google and see which ones you like best.

My favorite thing to make with green tomatoes is green tomato bread.
It's basically the same recipe as zucchini bread, but with the green
tomato puree (instead of zucchini) it comes out a little more moist
and tangy. Yum!. Also, you can freeze the puree and make it all
winter long.

(except I always puree the tomatoes instead of chop them finely)
 
My sister swears by green tomatoes in Thai curries (use recipes on
back of Thai Kitchen red or green curry paste), and she also adds them
in chili and tomato-based soups. Plus, she does make fried green
tomatoes that are to die for (she uses corn meal instead of wheat
flour). We eat them on fried egg sandwiches and BLTs (and sometimes
we even add cheese!) and then of course, just by themselves (for
breakfast :). I've also seen some recipes out there for bakes "fried"
green tomatoes that I would like to experiment with, too.
 
Also, I've thought about trying to pickle them, but I haven't tried it
yet.
 
To ripen, I line a flat cardboard box with a cloth or paper towel,
stack the tomatoes one row deep, then cover and close and place in
warm dry place. Some say to place in a cool dry place, but everything
I have read says tomatoes need heat to ripen.
 
Hope this gives you some ideas/options. Have fun!
