Submitted by Rachel Savage

"My sister found this in a vegetarian recipe magazine a million years ago. Great way to use up your garden's green tomato overflow and much healthier than the traditional fried green tomatoes."

Excellent!

This was "okay". I gave it four stars because it really doesn't taste like tomato, but the texture was really off for me. My husband gave it one star because he just couldn't stomach it. I wouldn't make this again. Sorry :(

I had never had green tomatoes before I tried this recipe, so it was definitely an experiment for me! I "mildly" liked it - wasn't crazy over it. I don't think I'll make it again, but it was OK.

I did not know what to expect with this recipe as I have never used green tomatoes before. And since the dish size was not given I guessed and used a 9x9 inch pan which seemed to be perfect with the amount of topping. Otherwise I followed the directions exactly which is quite unlike me as I am usually cutting out some of the fat. But I decided that I wouldn't make this often (afterall how often do I have green tomatoes available??) so I would go for it. Lovely flavor and the contrast between the tomatoes and the crisp is great. Served with a little fat free cool-whip it is heavenly. I do think it is better warm then cold, though. Thanks so much!
