Green Tomato & Chorizo Pie
"I garden. At the end of the season I had lots of green tomatoes whose blossom end had not blushed, thus they would never ripen. I devised several recipes this year and will try to develop more this season."

Fair attempt to use green tomatos. Rather bitter tho, and salt from chorizo and cheese can really add up. Sour cream as a topping helps a bit.
