Coincidence. On holiday, Saskia discovered a delicious homemade green tomato chutney at a roadside stall. Delicious with goat cheese. \u2018Oe, I want to make that at home too.\u2019 And what happens? When we get home, suddenly there is a tomato plant in the garden. No idea how it got there, probably blossomed from a seed from a stranded bird droppings. So hup, to work with the French recipe for green tomato chutney. And it worked!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Eating green tomatoes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fun fact<\/em>: In France, it is tradition to make this green tomato chutney (or compot) in autumn when unripe tomatoes cannot turn red after all. In short, a classic example of zero waste cooking<\/em>. Nice. So did we! And of course, what those French can do, we can do too! But are green tomatoes actually edible? It is true that green tomatoes contain solanine and tomatine. These are two natural toxins that can give you a stomach ache in large quantities. And no, these substances do not disappear completely by cooking, although the risk is reduced if you heat the tomatoes and eat them in small quantities. But don't panic: you really have to consume a big pile of raw green tomatoes to get sick from them. So in a chutney, stew or other cooked dish, green tomatoes are both safe and delicious. Be a bit careful if you are pregnant or cooking for children, who are more sensitive to solanine. So: eat it in moderation, heated well and enjoy it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Green tomato chutney is a treat on a late summer drinks board. Delicious with a piece of goat cheese or on a crusty roll. We discovered this little taste bomb in the south of France, but good news: even with those stubborn, unripe tomatoes from your Dutch garden (or from the market) you can make something delicious at home. This is one of those recipes that will make you happy. The flavour? A little sweet and a little sour. And completely homemade.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
