Brown the ground beef, then drain, and remove from the pan. Set aside. Put a tablespoon or two of the fat back in the pan and add the onions and peppers, and saute until they are starting to soften.
Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, and coriander, and saute 1 minute. Add the red and green tomatoes, the meat, oregano, and a cup or two of water, optional. Simmer briskly, stirring often, until all the veggies are tender, about 1/2 hour.
This can also be made with 1 lb of bite size beef stew meat. It's really good this way, but don't remove the beef from the pan when you add the veggies, and cook it for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until the beef is tender.

Spaghetti With Green Tomato-Bacon Sauce
Ingredients
6 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
In a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels. Drain and reserve 1 tablespoon bacon fat. Add the olive oil to the pan. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 60 seconds.
Raise the heat to medium high. Add the tomatoes, salt and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and start to turn golden brown, about 7 minutes. Add the wine and pepperoncini and cook until the some of the liquid evaporates and the tomatoes are a bit saucy.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta in salted boiling water according to the package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
Put the drained pasta back into the pot and add the cooked tomatoes, cheese, 1/2 cup parsley and cooked bacon. Toss until combined, adding reserved pasta water to moisten, if necessary. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper.
Divide the pasta among warm plates, sprinkle with additional parsley and serve immediately.
Green Tomato Relish
30 small green cherry tomatoes ( need 7-8 cups of tomato chunks before chopping. I used yellow pear heirloom tomatoes.)
2 sweet peppers any color (red/yellow look nice. about 4 cups chunks pre chopping)
Wash all vegetables. Cut vegs in chunks. Cut tomatoes in half. Put veg chunks in blender with enough water so they float. Pulse 5-6 times, and pour into a colander. You want a medium to fine size chop. Chop all vegs in blender and pour into a colander to drain, pressing down on vegs with the back of a spoon to get more water out. Then let drain at least one hour. Put drained vegs and sugar, vinegar and seasonings into a non aluminum pot. Bring contents to a boil, stirring frequently. When it reaches a boil, turn heat to medium and simmer 10 minutes. Cool, and put into containers. Will keep for months in the refrigerator. You can also can this in sterile jars, but I don't. I give this as gifts, It is good on hot dogs, hamburgers, sandwiches, and mixed with mayonnaise makes a good dressing for potato salad and deviled eggs. I use the blender filled with veg and pulse.

I would like to know how to use the green tomato puree in making recipes.

This is what my grandmother made to use up green tomatoes at the end of the season.
Tasty relish made with those green tomatoes left in your garden that won't have time to ripen. Simply to make with just a few ingredients.
I have tons of green tomatoes; when I was a kid I remember going to the deli with my dad and grabbing a big green dill pickled tomato from a big wooden barrel. I tried to pickle some a few years ago, but they didn't work too well. They were mushy and very tasty. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Purchase a bag of pickling lime and follow the directions for the green tomato pickles. This is the very best recipe. The pickled tomatoes are crisp and delish! Good luck.

Slice 5 to 6 green tomatoes. Place the green tomatoes in milk and soak for one hour or more.
