Jacican green tomato kasoundi recipe cover

I use green tomatoes to make my kasoundi a little bit different.

For this recipe, I grow my own green tomatoes and use the green tomato you end up with at the end of the season.

You will need to grow green tomatoes yourself, or if you know a commercial tomato grower (one who sells from the farm gate), you might be able to buy some green tomatoes to use in this recipe.

You can make Kasoundi with red tomatoes if you like, but I offer no guarantees that the recipe will work as I have only ever used green.
