Tomatoes at Borough Market
I found a lot of cheese, cured meat and bread at Borough Market. I also found tomatoes. I don't usually bother much with tomatoes in the winter, but these were just too tempting...
Chakalaka (sunshine food and don't we need it?)
Method:
Heat the oil in a pan then add the onions and green peppers. Fry until soft before adding the carrots, tomatoes and chillies.
Mix thoroughly and allow the mixture to simmer gently for 1 minute (stirring occasionally). Towards the end of the cooking time use a broad spoon to squash the ingredients against the side of the pan so that the mixture becomes smooth.
Add all the remaining ingredients and cook for a further 15 minutes.
Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe
A delicious treat and the perfect way to use up those unripe tomatoes. Vegetarian too!
Ingredients:
- 4 to 6 green tomatoes
- salt and pepper
- beaten egg
- cornmeal
- vegetable oil for frying
Preparation:
Slice the tomatoes into 1/4 - 1/2-inch slices. Salt and pepper them to taste. Dip in the beaten egg and then the corn meal. Fry in hot oil for about 3 minutes or until golden on bottom. Gently turn and fry the other side. Serve as a side dish - delicious with breakfast!
