Hi friends, the free trial offer is now over but you can still join! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnXdl79P0Xo I look forward to meeting you there! 😊
I agree about fried green tomatoes. I find they don't have a lot of flavor.
I think the purple pole beans are call ‘Blauhilde’ and Baker Creek carries them. I want to grow them next year.
Fried green tomatoes are yummy is you have a dipping sauce like spicy aioli. That is the way I had it down south
Chelsea don’t you need the wine to keep the recipe safe for canning?
Blessings!
Try putting a wet cloth anywhere near where you are working with onions.
To get the reall fried green tomatoes experience seasonings, buttermilk and let sit for at least a hour before putting your seasoned breadcrumb batter and fry.
May I suggest hush puppies
Have you ever planted elephant garlic?
Loaded fried green tomatoes! Fried green tomatoes, guacamole, pico de gallo(or salsa), jalapeño, topped with some cilantro or parsley and drizzled with sour cream pepper and salt!
There were two hurricanes, Mexico got hit with a hurricane as well. I didn't grow up with fried green tomatoes, but I don't like the batter mixes I made my own. I love them and also zucchini fried the same way
I really like fried green tomatoes, but I tried them for the first time last year. I can see why you might think they are plain. I tend to like/dislike foods based on texture over the taste
Ok from the south here. Fried green tomatoes are excellent cooked right. You need to slice them thinner and salt them and sweat them. Pat them dry and salt and pepper them and batter with dry corn meal and fry them on medium until a fork sticks through them and they are soft. Also, you probably need a little more oil in your pan. LOVE me some fried green tomatoes 😊
I don't like tomatoes, unless they're blended up or in salsa,but fried green tomatoes are tasty!
It really warmed my heart when you said you named your stove. I name everything I have…ie car-Marley, fridge-Frieda, rentals have names as well. The list goes on. Im glad I'm not alone on this, I feel more sane now ❤ 😅
When my mom made them she never breaded them, she fried them plain in butter. I like them, but I sometimes bread them with bread crumbs and flour and always fry them in butter. I think that they might be an acquired taste. We have visited Lumby several times and really enjoyed the scenery there. Live in the border town onthe Alberta /Sask. Border.
tip…i am sensitive to onions…so one day i was cutting a lot of onions and i was having a hard time because my eyes hurt a lot…so i put the onions that i cut in half in water and left them for about 20 minutes to give time to my eyes to stop the pain…i came back and started to process the onions that i left in the water and i had little issues with my eyes… i guess the water helped a bit..
I got 50 lbs of onion a couple weeks ago, and I discovered that having a fan blowing while cutting helped my eyes not burn.
I have lived in the Southeastern part of the US my entire life, so green beans and fried green tomatoes (FGT) are definitely staples here. However, my family says I'm not a true Southerner because I hate both! The only way I'll eat green beans is in vegetable soups and I won't eat FGT at all.
Have to appreciate the info on the "onion goggles". My husband thought I was crazy, but cutting up some very strong onions produced zero tears. I usually have them running down my face with eyes burning like crazy, but nothing wearing the goggles! Definately get the ones with the padding around the edges tho! Really learn a lot which is helping me in my own adventures into canning and gardening.
Try salt and peppering them before the batter. Also if you let them sit for 10 minutes or so after the salt, the salt will draw out the extra moisture
What a great movie 🎥 🍿!!
From the UK and it’s so hard to find any of the equipment here, especially jars, foods expensive but almost makes more sense to buy it than can your own 😞 also Worcestershire sauce is pronounced Wuss-ter 🤗
I’ve made fried green tomatoes in a non-traditional way – just flour, egg, breadcrumbs like eggplant parm, pan fried in oil. They were fine but not my thing. I did not grow up eating fried green tomatoes though. I DID, however, grow up eating fried RED tomatoes. My family makes red tomatoes coated in salted flour pan fried in Crisco and they get a caramelized sweetness to them that’s delicious. As my mom told me, the secret is not to be impatient. You have to let them get their golden brown crust on the first side before flipping them. ☺️
A Creamy dill sauce will make the Fried Green Tomatoes complete.
Do you have an enchilada sauce recipe for canning?
the tomatoes you made into spags sauce with burger what did you do to tomatoes once roasting was done?
Maybe the fried green tomatoes need to be used up by dipping them in your family's favorite dip?!
If oregnao seems too strong now, try marjoram. It has a very mild oregano flavor but is sweeter , a bit floral. I use more of it in my spaghetti sauce than oregano or basil now.
how does anyone keep their clothes nice when they homestead/cooking with grease. i can stain a shirt just by looking at my kitchen
I love fried green tomatoes. I did grow up with them…delicious.
I love fried green tomatoes and I grew up eating them. I don’t care for them made with corn meal. I prefer them coated in egg and flour but I also like them fried without any breading.
I’m also a canned green bean girl.
Hello from Vancouver Island British Columbia!
I was canning my spaghetti sauce and this video popped up. It was like having a friend over. I even cried along while cutting my onions. It was nice listening to someone with similar likes, that also lives in BC. I even lived in Lumby at one time.
Thanks for the video and letting me join you 😊
I salt and pepper the green tomatoes first and then I don't cut them super thick, so they can cook a little quicker. You can add a little dollop of pepper jelly to a slice when ready to eat. ALSO… if you add a slice of fried green tomato to a pimento cheese sandwich it is divine! 🙂 I am a Southerner born and raised, so I may be biased. Good for you for trying it and for being honest!
Here in the south you have to make a food dip. A comeback sauce or spicy Mayo. Then they are yummy
On the Fried Green Tomato topic… I did NOT grow up with them. But, I made them early in my gardening years and liked them immediately. I was told by several people before i ever made them that if they seemed too bland, dip them cocktail sauce. So, that’s what I do…. and, really love that combination.😋👍
❤️❤️❤️ tomatoes but do not like fried green ones. I do ❤️ onion rings…
I serve my fried green tomatoes with a horseradish sauce on the side. I would agree they’re a little bland and they need a little something salt and pepper them before you batter them. You also could add a little cayenne pepper to your batter.
I have only had fried green tomatoes in my adult life and absolutely love ❤them. Delicious!!
I live in Illinois, we didn't grow up with fried green tomatoes, but, since I've been gardening for 30+ years, I learned to make them. I don't like them, but, my daughter and grandkids love them. I like green tomato relish better than pickle relish tho.
Fried green tomatoes is my favorite movie of all time and food. Yes I grew up eating them. I’m in Louisiana.
I make a sauce for my fried green tomatoes. Mayo, ketchup, garlic powder and lemon juice. I love them with the sauce.
I think fried green tomatoes rank right up there with okra. My personal opinion 🤮
I’m in Texas and we cook fried green tomatoes weekly throughout the summer
It looked like your tomato’s were to large! Grew up with them! Also made with flour and seasonings. Try again sometime
