We always talk about fresh, off-the-vine, red tomatoes, but we have a lot of love for the green ones, too.
Pastor Martin Hutchison, founder of the Camden Community Garden in Salisbury shows us his take on fried green tomatoes. He also shows us how to make an simple dish using zucchini. Both recipes are below.
