Get true unripe green tomatoes, not green heirlooms, which are too delicate to grill. As for the green juice, there are some good store-bought ones if you’d rather not make your own.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 Servings

Ingredients

Green Juice

½

small romaine heart, coarsely chopped

¼

English hothouse cucumber or ½ Persian cucumber, coarsely chopped

1

cup (packed) torn kale leaves

¾

cup cilantro leaves with tender stems

1

tablespoon (or more) fresh lime juice

Kosher salt

Tomatoes and Assembly

1

slice thick country-style bread, torn into bite-size pieces

7

tablespoons olive oil, divided, plus more for brushing

Kosher salt

3

unripe green tomatoes, sliced ½ inch thick

1

tablespoon red wine vinegar

Freshly ground black pepper

8

ounces burrata or fresh mozzarella, torn into pieces

1

bunch scallions, thinly sliced

1

jalapeño, thinly sliced

½

cup unsalted, roasted almonds, coarsely chopped

1

cup cilantro leaves with tender stems

Flaky sea salt

Preparation

  1. Green Juice

    Step 1

    Blend romaine, cucumber, kale, cilantro, and ¼ cup water in a blender until fairly smooth, about 1 minute. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl or measuring glass, pressing on solids to release as much liquid as possible; you should have about ½ cup. (Alternatively, you can do this step in a juicer.) Stir in lime juice and season with salt. Taste and adjust flavor with more lime juice, if needed.

  2. Tomatoes and Assembly

    Step 2

    Preheat oven to 400°. Toss bread with 2 Tbsp. oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with kosher salt. Bake, tossing halfway through, until golden brown and crisp, 6–8 minutes. Let bread cool, then gently crush with a flat-bottomed measuring cup into smaller pieces.

    Step 3

    Prepare a grill for medium-high heat or heat a grill pan over medium-high. Brush tomatoes on both sides with 1 Tbsp. oil and grill until softened and lightly charred, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to plates and drizzle with vinegar, ⅓ cup green juice, and 1 Tbsp. oil. Season with kosher salt and pepper and top with burrata.

    Step 4

    Toss scallions, jalapeño, almonds, breadcrumbs, 2 Tbsp. green juice, and remaining 3 Tbsp. oil in a medium bowl; season with kosher salt and pepper. Add cilantro and toss again to bring everything together.

    Step 5

    Scatter scallion mixture evenly over tomatoes and burrata; drizzle with oil and sprinkle with sea salt.

  • Lots of work but definitely worth it. The tomatoes hold up well on the grill and turn out fruity and tangy; the dressing and burrata are delicious. Served this along with grilled skirt steak. Yum!
