Green Tomato Bread

I came across this recipe at The Fajdich Times I thought it looked interesting so I gave it a try.

For the green tomatoes I grated them then put them in a colander with a bowl on top to drain the liquid.


Green Tomato Bread, adapted from the Fajdich Times

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Combine dry ingredients in a bowl and make a well in the middle.

3 eggs, beaten

1 cup sugar

1 cup grated green tomato, drained(3 to 4 medium tomatoes)

1 cup apple sauce/olive oil

1 teaspoon vanilla

I substituted applesauce for oil. I take a measuring cup and fill it with applesauce, then top it off with olive oil. Try to make it a bit healthier:)


Combine above ingredients and bowl and mix well. Pour into well in the flour bowl and stir together.



1 cup chopped, toasted pecans (I left these out.)

1 cup raisins, optional

Add raisins to mixture.

Pour into greased bread pan and bake at 350F for 1 hour.



And how did it taste? Delicious. And using apple sauce instead of oil did not make it too dry. It was still nice and moist.

Fried Green Tomatoes

We lived in the south for a few years. And we fell in love with green tomatoes.

1 pkg Jiffy Corn Muffin mix
~or~
1 cup cornmeal
1 TBSP sugar
salt and pepper.

2 eggs

2-3 large green tomatoes (I find beefsteak tomatoes work best)

Cut tomato end off, then continue to cut in thick slices to other end.

coat in cornmeal mixture, then dip in egg, then into cornmeal again.

In large frying pan, heat olive oil on medium heat. When oil is hot, place tomato slices in frying pan. Fry each side until golden brown.


Serve with Apple Cider Vinegar for dipping.
