I've recently discovered green tomatoes and the wonderfulness of frying them. The dp (formerly bf, actually he doesn't need to be anonymous since he has his
own blog where he calls himself ~RoB, but I think that is kinda stupid, so I'll just call him Rob) fried them the first time I brought them home from the farmer's market. Then I saw a
post over on my friend Mandy's
blog about green tomatoes. She did something a little different though, she baked them! And then she topped them with blue cheese and basil vinaigrette!
So I told Rob the next time I bought green tomatoes that we should try doing it her way, and guess what? He listened to me! You can see the whole recipe over on
her blog (and check out some of her other recipes, they are awesome!) but I'm just showing you the finished product here!

Delicious! |
They were very tasty and I loved a new idea for the toppings, not sure if the baking part won me over, I think I still like fried better, but if I'm trying to be healthier I guess I could work with it. As you can see in the picture we paired it with a lovely wine,
Bardessono Petite Sirah, that we got at
Uncorked in Tahoe City. Oh, and I started the meal with a little cheese that we happened to have have left over, one of which is my new favorite, Drunken Goat (you can get it at whole foods).
those tomatoes look absolutely scumptious!
