Mushroom and Green Tomato Stir Fry



Mushroom and Green Tomato Stir Fry 4


A very quick sides recipe; raw, tart green tomatoes and earthy mushrooms stir fried in fragrant sesame oil.


We had light snow a couple of days back resulting my garden to breathe it’s last. The plants still had a lot of peppers and tomatoes. I went out in the freezing cold and got all the unripe tomatoes in all shapes and sizes.


Green Tomatoes

I don’t cook with green tomatoes often. They usually sit on the counter top till they get red and pretty; but this time I had way too many. Here is what I came up with – quick, easy and strange combination of the earthy mushrooms and the tart tomatoes cooked in sesame oil – to my surprise it was quite delicious!

I loved this with wild rice. Spicy peppers, slightly tart tomatoes and the full bodied mushrooms together make a strangely good combination.
