This is a modification of a recipe that originally
ran in Prevention magazine. I hope you like it as well as I did.

Black-Eyed Peas and Carrots with Basil Dressing

(The original recipe called for Tarragon, but I don’t like Tarragon, and so I
used Basil. However, if you like Tarragon, that is the herb originally called
for . )

1 1/3 cups dried black-eyed peas, soaked overnight
1 bay leaf
1 thick slice onion
1 sprig fresh basil
1 clove garlic, lightly crushed
1/4 c. + 1 1/2 Tbs. white-wine vinegar
3 1/2 Tbs. lemon juice
2 Tbs. minced fresh basil (or more, if you like basil)
1 Tbs. snipped chives
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
2 cups diced carrots
1/2 cup diced green peppers
1/2 cup diced red onion

1. Drain the black-eyed peas and transfer them to a 3-quart saucepan. Add the
bay leaf, onion slice, basil sprig, and garlic. Add about 8 cups of cold
water. Bring to a boil. Simmer uncovered over medium heat, stirring
occasionally, for about 1 hour or until the peas are tender.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, lemon juice, minced fresh
basil, chives, and black pepper. Set aside.

3. While the peas are cooking, blanch the carrots in boiling water for 3
minutes, or until crisp. Drain and add to the bowl with the dressing. Stir
well and set aside.

4. When the peas are tender, drain and discard the bay leaf, onion, basil, and
garlic.

5. Combine peas and carrots and stir lightly to blend. Add the green peppers
and red onion. Toss well. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Title: Fog City Diner’s Tomato Ketchup
Categories: Condiment, Ceideburg 2
Yield: 1 servings

4 lb Ripe plum tomatoes, coarsely
-chopped
1 1/2 c Sugar
1 c Cider vinegar
1 tb Minced garlic
3/4 ts Salt
1 1/2 ts Mixed pickling spice
1 sm Stick cinnamon, about 1/4
-inch long
1 1/2 ts Dry mustard
1/2 ts (scant) freshly ground
-pepper
2 tb Cornstarch dissolved in
1/4 c Cold water
1/4 ts Cayenne pepper

The Fog City Diner was one of the places that came along with the
diner revival of a few years back. It is, or was, a trendy place
over in the City. I think it may have closed after the ’89 quake,
but I’m not sure about that.

Combine the tomatoes, sugar, vinegar, garlic, salt, pickling spice,
cinnamon, dry mustard and pepper in a large, heavy stainless steel or
enameled saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat,
stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat and simmer the ketchup,
uncovered, for 30 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove the ketchup
from the heat and let it cool a few minutes.

Force the ketchup through a fine sieve to strain it, pressing down
hard on the solids. Rinse out the saucepan and return the ketchup to
a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat and
simmer the ketchup, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes. (Even if
the ketchup seems thin, do not cook it any longer, as the thickening
power of the cornstarch lessens with prolonged cooking. The ketchup
will thicken a bit more upon cooling.) Remove the ketchup from the
heat and let it cool to room temperature. Store the tomato ketchup,
covered, in the refrigerator for up to a month.

Makes about 5 cups.
