By Maranda Engelbrecht

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cooking Time 10 minutes

TASTE’s take:

It’s been said that a world without tomatoes is like a string quartet without violins. Indeed, today’s exotic new varietals lend a melodious note to everything from salads to soups. But if you can't find Spanish green tomatoes, any green tomatoes will do.
