Here’s a way to use up some of the abundant unripe green tomatoes which flourish in veggie gardens at this time of the year. Terrific with barbecued or char-grilled kangaroo fillet, lamb backstops, or skewered beef or chicken.

Ingredients

  • medium small green tomatoes 300g, quartered, calyx removed
  • red onion 1 small, peeled, quartered and finely sliced
  • lebanese cucumber 1 small, sliced in half lengthways, seeds removed and diced
  • jalapeno chilli 1 medium, seeds and membranes removed and diced
  • flat leaf parsley 1/2 cup, finely chopped
  • fresh mint leaves 1/2 cup, finely chopped
  • fresh lime juice 1 -2 tablespoons
  • extra virgin olive oil 2 -3 tablespoons
  • sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste

Combine the green tomatoes, red onion, jalapeƱo chilli and fresh herbs in a serving bowl. Toss well to combine. Stir through the lime juice and olive oil, tasting as you go – just how much will depend on the flavour of the green tomatoes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Tip: a few fresh coriander leaves, scattered over the top, will add an extra dimension of flavour
