We appreciate Vincenzo for showing us the true beauty of learning about Italian cuisine. We wish him and his family all the best.

Enjoy the time with nonna brother they arnt here so long! Was beautiful to see this old recipe. Awesome !! Brova 😊

[@BenPerfetto]

Just asked my mom yesterday, on how to make the pickled green tomatoes. Pretty much exactly the same. I love them so much. Great on sandwiches! Also, why waste good food. My mom always says, don't waste food, just like someone else commented, Italians never waste food. Thanks for posting the video, great job!

[@Sharps.50]

Going to start making mine today ! Just love ❤️ this sort of thing ! Hats Off To Nonna !👌🌟👌🌟👌

[@Positiveenergy68]

I love how she uses every single part of the tomato she possibly can. Italians never waste food! My parents instilled that in me ❤️ 🇮🇹

Our Nonnas are the most precious persons God gave us. They are such a lovely soul and a fountain of youth and wisdom. We must cherish, appreciate and love them since they are still with us. I’ve lost mine many years ago but all memories with them are vivid and full of joy. I miss them so much. Send our flowers and love to your Nonna and let her know that she is such a beautiful soul and we appreciate her culinary legacy she is sharing with us ❤🙏🏼

Your words beautifully capture the essence of our Nonnas. Memories are treasures that keep them close in our hearts. Your kindness warms us, and we'll pass along your love to Nonna. 🌼🥰

Making this at the minute, so tasty, worst year for growing in Ireland only really have green tomatoes, I have been making this for the last two years, and I am planning on giving them as gifts, thank you both

[@Mrjosiahguy]

Looks awesome! I love anything pickled. I recently discovered an Italian deli down the street that sells Guanciale and a lot of different olive oils and pickled peppers. Plus they make some legit sandwiches. Thought of your show and all the recipes I’m now forced to make now that I have the ingredients. 🎉

[@vincenzosplate]

Sounds awesome 🤩 I really hope they have green tomatoes to, so you can pickle them!

[@jonathanmeagher6818]

This is genius!! I usually have a few green tomatoes that my son pulls off our plants before they ripen lol. Now I got something I can use them for, thanks Vincenzo and Nonna!

[@gobblemesoftly]

Make sure they are almost ripe. Green tomatoes are potentially poisonous even after pickling.

Im Calabrese and we make them a little different,we don’t use oil we actually use the vinegar to top up the jars. Both ways are great, just depends if you want them a little more tart.First time I’ve ever seen anyone else make these. Also to add just more flavour we use fennel seed.

THANK YOU! This is exactly the recipe my Zia used to make these. Perfect as a sandwich topping. (I can’t eat raw tomatoes, but the vinegar “cooks” them enough to get rid of whatever I’m allergic to in the raw tomatoes!). I might even try basil in one jar 🤔

[@jimmyg2195]

I didn’t have parsley so I substituted it with basil. The fragrance of the basil just elevated it for me. I also used apple cider vinegar and white. It turned out so good that I repeated again this year. Enjoy!!

[@rickbooher8224]

Vincenzo you are so blessed to spend time with Nonna and learn the old ways of preparing and storing food. However a mandolin would keep the slices uniform and allow even salt and vinegar penetration. Adding the garlic and parsley genius. After you consume the tomatoes you can use the oil and garlic to prepare other dishes. The oil mixing with some herbs and vinegar also be used in making the panino or a vinaigrette for a salad using some of the pickles tomatoes in the salad. Maybe adding fresh ripe tomatoes in the salad to complement each other. Hope your baby and your wife are doing well.

[@vincenzosplate]

Absolutely, your insights are spot on! Nonna's wisdom is invaluable. The mandolin is a great idea, and reusing the infused oil is genius. Grazie! 🍅🥗

My father, Nonna, Aunt carmella every year while I was growing up they would take one weekend they'd all come to our house and I remember when I turned 13 years old my grandmother said OK it's time for you to help. On Friday night we would peel the eggplant slice them and salt them we also do the tomatoes like thatc usually it was 2 cases of each, then Saturday while they were pressing and getting the eggplant ready to be pressed for a month before they pickled it they would take care of the tomatoes and my job was the five gallon bucket of green Sicilian olives that I had to take and crack with the hammer. My fingers were so sore for a week after that. Then on Sunday they would take the olives and the tomatoes and brine both then on Monday thank God I was at school lol they would jar the tomatoes and the olives in the olive oil with the seasonings, olive oil, garlic, fresh basil and parsley red pepper seeds . We weren't allowed to touch those jars for three months. They would press the eggplant to get all the water out I think it was just at a month then they would take and jar the eggplant and put the same oil and spices and again you didn't touch those eggplants for at least three months. But to me there was never a better sandwich then mortadella, salami, capi ham, and Prosciutto and thin sliced hard provolone. Then the eggplant, tomatoes and arugula. With the olives on the side. OMG I miss those days. Please keep making videos with Nonna makes me feel good unfortunately I'm going through cancer treatments and I keep thinking of the past god bless and give her a big hug for me👍✌💖🎅🚌🌻

We just had a cold snap, and my tomatoes dropped off the plant. They are plum varieties. Would this process work with them? Obviously, I’d cut lengthwise. There’s only a handful now, but more may fall soon. Luckily, summers over, and we had plenty of fresh tomatoes over the year.

My mother spent some time in Italy and had already warned me that I would understand some dialects, because of my Spanish, I didn't take it seriously.

Question…. For the 24 hour salting step, then the 24 hour vinegar step, is the rest period on the counter? Or in the fridge ?

[@yvonnedekay1736]

What kind of vinegar is used??

[@greeneffectltd]

Oh but I tasted :D In Bulgaria we have almost the same tradition when it comes to pickling vegetables or making sauces in a bottle (for the winter) to use later. I can confirm that this is the real deal. It's very delicious and green tomatoes also are perfect when fried.

[@vincenzosplate]

Hope you enjoy this as much as we did. I agree that green tomatoes are also perfect when fried. They have a slightly tart flavor that pairs well with the crispy exterior. I like to fry them with some garlic and herbs for a delicious and flavorful snack or side dish.

@@vincenzosplate And when it's touched by grandma's hands it becomes much more delicious. A toast to all grandmothers, they love us like no other!

Are these unripe tomatoes or a special variety that doesn't ripen to gold or red colour?

[@vincenzosplate]

These are indeed unripe green tomatoes, a unique ingredient in many Italian recipes. Their tangy flavor adds a special touch to dishes! 🍅🇮🇹

[@hugoangers8991]

Similar to what we call "ketchup vert" ("green ketchup") here in the province of Québec, Canada. It is traditionally made by grandmothers.

Just one question please. I have dozens of green tomatoes on the vine and I'd love to make this recipe. The vinegar: am I seeing correctly; is Nonna using white wine vinegar? I don't want to screw this up. Thank You
