Description

In Vivian Howard's book This Will Make It Taste Good she describes her favorite condiments as "flavor heroes" and offers up creative and easy ways to add kicks of flavor to almost any dish. Red Weapons are spicy, pickled tomatoes that are balanced with vinegar, brown sugar, jalapeños, and aromatics. The addition of cayenne, turmeric, cumin and mustard seeds really take the flavor of this bright, punchy mixture to the next level. The best part? It's multiple condiments in one! Use the oil that rises to the top of the jar to saute shrimp, use the brine in a vinaigrette, chop up the tomatoes and jalapeño and stir into guacamole. This recipe is simple, flavorful yet complex and with endless possibilities...and that's what makes Vivian our flavor hero. Yield: 2 quarts
