Finnish summer this year was not favorable to tomato home gardeners. As the autumn arrived, there were a lot of green tomatoes still in tomato plants. Appropriately though, Helsingin Sanomat published on September 25th 2008 in the food section Ossi Korhonen's recipe for Creamy green tomatoes, which inspired this dinner. And the green tomatoes, they ended up on the plate, instead of the compost box.
Ingredients:
chicken
yellow sweet pepper
turmeric
turnip rye oil
green tomatoes
onion
butter
cream
salt, black pepper
basmati rice
chives
The chicken is wokked first in oil. Sweet pepper and turmeric are added once the meat is done. Tomatoes and onion are cut into half a centimeter (1/4 of an inch) slices and fried in butter until they get some colour. Add cream and let it simmer gently until the sauce thickens a bit. Add salt and pepper to taste. Rice is cooked according to the instruction on the package, chives is cut and added just before serving.
If there is left overs of chicken and rice, they can be wokked the next day with cottage cheese and parmesan. Green tomatoes can be warmed up in a pan or micro wave oven.
