So what to do with the green tomatoes? I decided to make some really simple green tomato and chilli relish.
I chopped the green tomatoes, a couple of onions and 4 ripe serrano chillies, and put them in a pan with some white wine vinegar, salt, sugar and celery seeds and cooked it until it was thick. Most of it I bottled to mature, but some got dolloped immediately onto thick, juicy cheeseburgers. Spicy, tangy and just how I like relish to be.

OH YUM!
That looks SO *delicious*—tangy and sharp, such a good foil for cheeseburgers—that makes me hungry for one, and this coming from a batlet who doesn't even normally enjoy burgers!
Hurrah for the tomato crop!
I ended up doing the same thing with my green tomatoes. Just with and Indian twist.
I love yours on the cheeseburgers!
Good use of those green tomatoes. We ended up making ours into jam, there were just so many thins year.
Looks really tasty! Great way to store green tomatoes for the winter.
Pips - you don't normally enjoy burgers?!
Natashya - Indian twist sounds good!
Kat - We were just so pleased to get a chance to harvest!
George - thanks!
Oh FC, not from lack of trying, 'tis just that I've not often found a *really* good burger! I don't mean those truffled Wagyu beef froufrou'd up extravaganzas... just an ordinary flavourful juicy number, preferably on warmed non-cottonwool bread!
That relish sounds really great! Making me hungry! Glad you got some good tomatoes this year.
Pips - I must say the burger chains here (Gourmet Burger Kitchen, Hamburger Union) do a really fantastic burger.
Esi - I'm going to have to have some more this weekend, to see how it is maturing.
