As the nights get cooler now, the number of RIPE tomatoes in the garden will diminish. I always, either make green tomato/red pepper relish (makes a great gift), or I do fried green tomatoes.
Take your green tomatoes, and slice them thin. Then do the same with a couple onions. Vidalia onions are nice, if you want it sweeter. (My DH likes THEM). Saute the veggies in a whole stick of REAL melted butter. When the veggies have softened, add 1 cup to 1 pint of sour cream, depending on how rich you want the sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
Makes a great side dish for almost ANY meal. It's also a way not to waste our bounty.
