This is just THE most delicious thing to do with green tomatoes, if you have a glut of them which haven't ripened at the end of summer!
I've made green tomato chutney before, which is also delicious, but this year I thought I'd hark back to a film I watched as a teenager (many years ago!) - Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe. I always wondered what they tasted like, and we have soooo many green tomatoes left over this year, that I've had several opportunities to experiment with various ingredients and methods, and this is the combination of ingredients I've settled on as my favourite - be it fried or air fried!

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do - I've become a bit obsessed with them now, and there definitely aren't going to be any left over for chutney this year - also, they're an excellent vegetarian dish, brilliant as a starter, side, or even just to serve alongside drinks... or, erm, breakfast, brunch, supper... you get the idea! And I'd even go as far as to say that I prefer the air fryer version - they're so crispy - and almost guilt free!
