Notes: Per Jim the sauce is good, but the "brining" of the green tomato slices is the key. We have made the sauce, but we also make a stack of three fried slices, with a dob of soft cheese between the slices. We have used both goat cheese and bourskin, it depends upon what you have and your taste. You can also drizzle some pesto and/or red sauce around it to "top it off".
The only thing we do not modify is the brining part, as it gives each bite that tangy bite.
