I almost got creative at the weekend! Well, as close as I get to being creative in the kitchen.... We had a few green tomatoes due to tomato plants trying to fall over & I was trying to work out what to do with them. A mentioned that she's done a green tomato tarte tatin before so I messed around with the idea:
Melted a small knob of butter & added my green tomatoes (halved as they were cherries), let them goa bit brown & then knocked the heat right down for about 15 mins, moving them around to try & release some moisture. I added a teaspoon of soft brown sugar towards the end, mixing well.
I skipped the pastry bit as the dish was looking calorific already & pastry tends to give Husband bad indigestion.
We had the tomatoes as a side dish for a roast dinner & it worked quite well - the sharpness took the edge off the rich food. I wouldn't pick green tomatoes to make this, but it was a neat way to avoid throwing them straight into the compost....
