When we cleared the garden we ended up with a lot of green tomatoes. Everyone always asks what can you do with them.
Firstly, if possible take them off the plant still on some of the vine. In this way you can hang them up near a sunny windowsill and let them ripen. They will still taste sweeter this way.
Make tomato chutney....that's the obvious but I personally am not keen on it. However you can always use it for swaps.
Tomato ketchup/ relish using the same recipe as with red tomatoes.(amazing recipe on Jonathan Wallaces self sufficient in suburbia )
Fried green tomatoes. Make a mix of breadcrumbs with spices of your choice added....eg chilli, paprika, herbs. Dip tomato slices in egg then the crumb mix and shallow fry.
If you are having a problem getting the tomatoes to ripen......I wrap each one in newspaper and put in a basket with a couple if apples. You have to regularly check to see when they are turning red.
Bonne appetite x
