Trying to keep up with the peppers, actually have enough canned stuff for now. Might as well smoke em , dry em then chop em for seasoning.

[glenn57]

fried green maters!!!

tell me how???????????/

[mike89]

from what I have seen, slice maters, egg wash, breading, fry....     like I said have not had it yet but would eat  any time...  hope that helps..  not sure why the egg wash when it's wet already??

[Rebel SS]

Used crushed up seasoned croutons, slice 'maters 1/4" thick, dip in egg, then croutons, fry in deep pan in oil until golden brown, turning once, the Reb-o-riffic way! Ya want I should come up there and slice 'em up for ya too??!! I 'spsoe ya haven't seen the movie by the same name, either!!

[glenn57]

Nope and I ain't never done it so that's why I asked. Sounds like it's a bit greasy.

[glenn57]

hey reb, maybe you can help me out?? I gotz so darn many green maters yet. so I be trying an experiment and I don't remember how this goes??????? is it you but green maters in a brown bag put them in a warm spot and they ripen faster, or is it put ripe maters in a brown bag and put in a cool spot to keep them for an extended period of time?

either way I/m looking to speed up the ripening process!!!!!!!!!

[Rebel SS]

Why speed it up? Slow ripen, I'm eating fresh ones at Thanksgiving every year!! Really! OK, here's how it goes: wrap 2 or 3 in a 1/4 sheet of newspaper, continue on until all wrapped, then I put the pile in a cardboard box down in basement where it's COOL.  Takes about a month to turn red, or even longer. If ya put them all together, I find it doesn't work as well. 2 or 3 works best. If ya GOTTA hurry, put a bunch in paper sack where it's room temp, and toss an apple in. 'maters and apples give off the same gas (ethylene)  that helps them ripen...and yes, they really DO taste like rigdht off the vine. 

[glenn57]

  tanks.........I need a quick process...I,m running out of ripe maters now and need my fix!!!!!!
