Growing up in my family, there was always a bit of tension between the tea-totalling Methodists and the "back-sliders" -- one way to "hide the evidence" was to use certain ingredients usually meant for the bar as part of an "ethnic-style" recipe. Here's one such recipe using bloody mary mix -- you can use either a prepared mix in a bottle or the mix recipe below.
Bloody Mary Mix:
Bloody Mary Mix:
- 4 cups tomato juice
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 1/2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce, or to taste
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon celery powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
For the pilaf
- 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
- 1 cup uncooked regular long-grain white rice
- 4 bloody mary mix
- 1 tsp. dried basil leaves, crushed
- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas & carrots)
Heat the oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the rice and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
Stir the vegetable juice, basil and garlic powder in the skillet and heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 15 minutes.
Stir in the vegetables. Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until the rice and vegetables are tender.
