The ability to schedule a Greenling Local Box delivery for the day after you return from vacation is a good, good thing.  Not touching the veggies and hoping they’re still good a week later is a totally different story.  But finding out the veggies that you were most excited about working with, the green tomatos, were still usable a week later…  More good.

Being a tomato disliker for almost three decades, it came as no surprise when I realized I had no idea what to do with these things.  Would they even taste like red tomatoes?  No clue.  I turned to Google.

I used this NY Times recipe as my guide, using kale and goat cheese in lieu of herbs.  The green tomatoes were much more tart than I was expecting, even though the article described them as acidic.  But the surprise was welcomed when I tasted how nicely the tart matched up with the goat cheese.
