I don't have a recipe for green-tomato grits, but my friend Steve has a recipe (of sorts) for easy grits over on <a target="_blank" title="Rancho Gordo blog" href="http://ranchogordo.typepad.com/rancho_gordo_experiments_/2006/11/kiss_my_grits_o.html" rel="nofollow">his blog</a>. Were the green tomatoes fried and used as garnish? Or cut up and mixed into the grits? Or something else? I'm getting hungry thinking about the possibilities! :) You might try sending a nice note to the chef of the restaurant where you had the dish, asking him or her for the recipe. I find that most chefs are very willing to share with non-professional cooks. (In fact, you might even mention in your letter that you're just a home cook and won't share the recipe publically, just to calm their fears.) Let me know if you come up with anything... I can't wait to hear how your experiments turn out. Hi Beth… thanks for visiting the blog.

Definitely never thought I'd like GREEN tomatos. However . . . . we were having dinner in rather upscale place in OKC and side dish with desired entre was "green tomato grits." NO WAY. But they were wonderful!!!!! Looking for recipe since. Any help out there????? Never liked tomatos. Definitely never thought I’d like GREEN tomatos.

I actually fried one tomato that was slightly red, and it wasn't nearly as good and fruity as the green ones. I'd definitely seek out truly unripe tomatoes for this one -- I saw plenty of them at the farmers market this weekend, so it seems summer is over, even in the central valley. Thanks, Jen.
