This week we have Green Tomatoes from 'R Garden in New Bern.  You know what that means??  Time to make the southern classsic...fried green tomatoes!

Ingredients
  • 3 or 4 large firm green tomatoes
  • Salt
  • 2 cups vegetable or peanut oil, for deep-frying
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • Freshly ground black pepper
Vidalia Onion Relish:
  • 2 white onions, diced
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons chopped chives


    Directions
     
    Slice the tomatoes 1/4-inch thick. Lay them out in a shallow baking pan and sprinkle with salt. Place the tomato slices in a colander and allow time for salt to pull the water out of the tomatoes, approximately 30 minutes.

    In a skillet, heat the oil for deep-frying over medium-high heat.

    Dip the tomatoes into buttermilk, then dredge them into flour with a dash of pepper. Deep-fry until golden brown. Keep warm.

    For the Vidalia Onion Relish: Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate for a few hours.

Kohlrabi

5/8/2010

Kohlrabi is a crispy, sweet tasting, delicate flavored member of the Brassica family of vegetables, grown for its swollen, turnip-shaped portion of the stem which rests on the ground. It’s a distinctive looking vegetable, with a ball-like shape, pale green and purple-tinged, marked by points where the leaf-stems attached. The flesh of the bulb is juicy and crisp with a beguiling sweetness similar to that of an apple, with a hint of piquancy associated with radishes and baby turnips.

Wash kohlrabi just before using. Small kohlrabi bulbs which are young and tender generally do not require peeling. Medium to larger sizes should be peeled to remove the protective outer skin. The bulb can be sliced, cut into quarters, cubes or julienne strips and steamed until crisp-tender. Or sauté kohlrabi in butter or olive oil, or boil and mash like potatoes. The whole peeled kohlrabi can be added to braised dishes and stews. The crisp flesh can be served raw in salads, as a relish, or as a crunchy accompaniment to dips. The kohlrabi has delicious leaves that are tender and excellent in salads or stir-fried.

With only 36 calories, one cup of raw kohlrabi has nearly 5 grams of fiber and is an excellent source of Vitamin C and a good source of Potassium. Kohlrabi contains important phytochemicals such as indoles, sulforaphane and isothiocynates. Indoles are believed to be potentially significant anti-cancer compounds and are found in other cruciferous vegetables, including broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage and cauliflower. These plant compounds are not destroyed in cooking, and the bioactivity of indoles may actually be increased by cooking.

Kohlrabi and Tomato Salad

4 medium kohlrabi
2 large tomatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lime or lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped savory (if savory is unavailable, thyme can be substituted)
Coarse salt and pepper to taste


Trim and peel the kohlrabi and slice thinly (1/8 inch slices). Toss with the olive oil and lime or lemon juice. Chop tomatoes and blend with the savory. Add to kohlrabi along with salt and pepper.
