More green tomatoes

I am working on the the green tomato quick bread. My first loaf came out ok, but it didn't have a lot of flavor. I added cinnamon, allspice and vanilla extract, but it needs something more. I think ginger may be nice, so I will try that and let you know how it turns out.

In the meantime my "roast everything" motto came into play. I was making a sweet potato/black bean tortilla and thought...hmmmm....what about roasted green tomatoes? I roast cherry tomatoes with green beans and garlic so why not try green tomatoes, right?

I started the sweet potatoes first, tossing them with EVOO, cumin and curry, roasting at 350 degrees. After 1/2 an hour I added chunks of green tomatoes and a bit more EVOO.

After about an hour the sweets and toms will be nice and roasted. I sauteed some drained black beans mixed with some more cumin and voila! A lovely multi-colored nutritious tortilla. To keep the wrap from getting soggy from the roasted veggies I added two leaves of torn swiss chard (home grown of course).

All in all it was a very nice lunch.

And now the next batch of green tomatoes are waiting to be made into a more than ok quick bread.
