Steps:

  • Mix 3/4 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper, 3 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca and the zest of 1 lemon. Cut 2 pounds green tomatoes into 1/4-inch-thick slices; dip completely in the sugar mixture, then arrange in pie shell, adding 1/2 cup golden raisins as you layer. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons lemon juice and dot with 4 tablespoons butter.
  • Perfect All-Butter Piecrust
  • Pulse 3 1/2 cups flour, 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a food processor. Add 1 diced stick cold butter; process until combined. Add 2 more diced sticks cold butter; pulse three times, or until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 1 tablespoon white or cider vinegar. Gradually pour in 1/3 cup ice water, pulsing about four times until combined. Turn out onto a clean surface and press into a cohesive dough without overworking (you should see bits of butter). Wrap in plastic wrap and press into a 1-inch-thick disk; refrigerate at least 1 hour before rolling out.
  • How to Make a Pie
  • Divide the chilled dough in half; roll 1 piece into a 12-inch, 1/8-inch-thick circle on a lightly floured surface (refrigerate the other piece).
  • Roll the dough onto a rolling pin, then unroll it into a 9-inch glass pie plate, letting it hang over the edge; add filling.
  • Roll out the other piece of dough and place over the filling; press the crust edges together and trim, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Roll up or pinch the overhang to seal.
  • Place a foil-lined baking sheet on a rack in the lower third of the oven; preheat to 450 degrees. Wrap an oiled, wide band of foil around the pie edge to protect the crust. Make slashes in the top of the crust; chill for 30 minutes.
  • Reduce the oven to 400 degrees. Bake the pie for 30 minutes. Remove the foil band, brush the crust with heavy cream and sprinkle with sugar. Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes; cool before slicing.

GREEN TOMATO PIE



Green Tomato Pie image

Found some green tomatoes at a local farmers market and came home to figure out what to use them in...found a recipe for Green Tomato Pie. I have never heard of it but thought Why Not. Played a little with the recipe and it turned out fantastic! Not at all what I expected, a very nice surprise!

Provided by Carrie Halliday

Categories     Pies

Number Of Ingredients 9

6-8 medium sized green tomatoes
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp fresh lemon zest (grated lemon peel)
3/4 c sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
2 Tbsp cornstarch
1 Tbsp butter (more if you like to add under your top crust)
1 uncooked pastry for a 2 crust pie

Steps:

  • 1. Wash the green tomatoes well, slice thinly and cut slices into quarters. Some say to peel the tomatoes, I see no need for it, your choice.
  • 2. Mix the sugar and cornstarch in a small bowl, set aside. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
  • 3. In a medium saucepan, combine the tomatoes with the lemon juice, lemon zest, salt and cinnamon. Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring frequently. When mixture seems softened (10-12 minutes), add the sugar/cornstarch mixture and continue to cook...stirring constantly. Make sure the cornstarch is dissolved in and not lumps in the mix. Add the butter, stir and remove from heat. Let stand while you prepare the pastry. Use your favorite recipe or store bought if that is what you prefer. I make my crust ahead of time and freeze the balls, then take them out as needed, defrost on the counter and roll out. I will add my pie crust recipe soon, it is the flakiest I have even seen.
  • 4. Line a 9 inch pie plate with the bottom pastry, pour in the tomato mixture. At this point you can dot the top with butter if you wish or just cover with the top crust. I do the butter, but that is just how I was taught. Seal the edges of the pastry together, crimp and then cut several small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  • 5. Again at this point, you can put into the oven or add one extra step I always use on my pies. I moisten my fingers with milk and gently rub the top crust until its moistened, but not pools of milk on top. Then sprinkle on some sugar, 1T should be enough. This adds to the browning and also makes a more flavorful, shiny crust. Its up to you if you want to add this step.
  • 6. Bake for 35-45 minutes, the pie should be golden brown. This can be served hot or cold, we preferred cold with a touch of homemade whip cream.

GREEN TOMATO SKILLET PIE



Green Tomato Skillet Pie image

A serving of fried green tomatoes is a classic dish in the South, as much at home on a vegetable plate as skillet corn, greens, and classic macaroni and cheese. Green tomatoes aren't just for frying; you can enjoy also them in a sweet and juicy pie. Green tomato pies have been called the "apple pies of summer" because, when baked with warm spices such as cinnamon and cloves, unripe green tomatoes take on fruity notes similar to Granny Smith apples or rhubarb. Top with a dollop of sweetened whipped cream or your favorite ice cream. When you get them home from the market, store green tomatoes in the refrigerator to keep them from ripening. As delicious as the filling is, the bacon dripping-flavored crust is also an integral part in making this a fantastic recipe. The dough can be made up to 3 days in advance and refrigerated, or 2 months ahead and frozen.

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface

1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
1/2 cup bacon drippings, cold
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon orange zest (from 1 orange)

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cubed
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons turbinado sugar

Steps:

  • Prepare the Crust: Place flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor; pulse to combine, about 3 times. Add butter and drippings; pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, about 10 times.

Cover disks tightly in plastic wrap. Chill until firm, up to 1 day.
  • Prepare the Filling: Preheat oven to 350°F. Stir together granulated sugar, raisins, flour, cinnamon, zest, cloves, and salt in a large bowl. Add tomatoes and vinegar. Toss to coat; set aside.
  • Unwrap 1 dough disk. Place on a lightly floured surface; sprinkle dough with flour. Roll into a 14-inch circle. Fit into a 10-inch cast-iron skillet. Unwrap remaining disk. Roll into a 12-inch circle; cut into 1-inch-wide strips.
  • Pour tomato mixture into dough in skillet; dot with butter. Arrange strips in a lattice design over Filling. Trim and discard excess dough; crimp edges of Crust. Freeze, uncovered, 10 minutes.

GREEN TOMATO PIE

Categories     dessert

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3 cups green tomatoes, chopped
1 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon vinegar
2 8-inch prepared pie crusts (top and bottom)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • In a bowl, mix flour, nutmeg, sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Add tomatoes and vinegar.
  • Pour mixture into prepared pie crust, and dot with butter. Cover with top crust and make two to four small slits in center to vent.
  • Bake for 20 minutes. Then reduce to 325 degrees F for 40 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tomatoes: Use firm, green tomatoes that are not too ripe. If the tomatoes are too ripe, they will be too soft and will not hold their shape in the pie.
  • Slice the tomatoes evenly: This will help them to cook evenly in the pie.
  • Don't overcook the tomatoes: They should be cooked until they are just tender, but still have a little bit of bite to them.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this pie, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that you enjoy. A sharp cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese works well.
  • Don't skimp on the spices: The spices in this pie are what give it its flavor, so don't be afraid to use a generous amount. A good combination of spices to use includes garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper.
  • Let the pie cool before serving: This will help the pie to set and will make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Green tomato pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. With its flaky crust, tangy tomatoes, and cheesy filling, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you have a bunch of green tomatoes, don't let them go to waste - make a green tomato pie instead!
