              Interesting, sounds as if should be fairly moist - keep us posted. Might give it a try I've got more green tomatoes than I had red!

                Good idea. Can't be any worse than courgette cake (last resort of the desperate). That was a bit damp and soggy when I tried it and it only uses a little bit of courgette up anyway. My toms are still gamely ripening but I'm sure I'll end up with a pile of green ones so this recipe could be handy.
