Green Tomatoes


Green tomatoes don't have a lot of flavor if you bite into one raw. It's kind of like eating a peach before it's ripe...it's hard, it lacks flavor, its a little bitter and disappointing. Once you cook them, they have a sweet flavor and if "gardeny" was an adjective..that's how I'd describe it. It's fresh and tastes like how walking through a row of tomato plants smells.
Here, I've made Charred Green Tomato Salsa to throw on top of some delicious Tequila Braised Pulled Pork Tacos. Be careful...It's a little spicy- cut down the chipotles in the braise if you want to temper the heat. Make sure you have a margarita or a mojito nearby when you take the first bite.
Rub your pork...
Bring in the tequila...
Get your 6 hr braise started...
Char the matoes!
Make the salsa, grab a drink, and assemble a taco!

SOOOOO GOOD!
