Nobody here has recommended fried green tomatoes yet? That's a southern staple
My grandma usually puts her late tomato harvest in a brown bag which she stores in a warm place so the tomatoes ripen with time (that usually takes around 2 weeks)
We're ripening ours right now. I'm switch from the bowl to a bag
throw a ripe banana in with it to turbo-charge the ripening with some ethylene gas.
I've had middling success with that. My current batch went from not quite ripe to rotting.
Risky move. Last time I did that they all went over ripe fast

Pickled green tomatoes are amazing. My family makes them every fall.
Sell at a high markup to vegans.
Fry them
All thirty pounds? (13.6 Kg)
Make as much as you feel like snacking on and turn the rest into green tomato salsa.
