green tomato pie

[vigilant20]

I'm another one that has lots of green tomatoes left this year. So here's my first attempt at cooking with them. The recipe was originally found on allrecipes.com.

 

My pie crust wouldn't win any awards, but the overall effect was like a apple pie with bland apples or something. The texture was good, and the tomatoes were so mildly flavored that I wouldn't have guessed that's what was in there.

 

 

Recipe makes a 9 inch pie. My test batch was half a recipe in a small stoneware casserole dish.

 

1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

4 teaspoons lemon zest

6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

3 tablespoons butter

3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 1/3 cups white sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 cups diced green tomatoes

 

Prepare your pie crust of choice and line plate. Mix next 7 ingredients well, then fold in tomatoes. Add top crust and bake at 450 for 10 minutes, reduce to 350 and finish baking for 30 minutes.

I made one last fall and altho I didn't think id deserved rave reviews, it wasn't bad. In fact Hubby asked for another one this year...

Thanks for this. I so badly want to make it because it's just so kewl. Unfortunately, all I have at the moment is maybe a cup or two of green 'maters.

 

Wonder what would happen if I add some red tomatoes to it?

I'm thinking about a graham cracker style crust made with cornmeal and add jalapenos, onions and a meat or cheese. Dress with enchilada sauce.
