On the other hand, we gave up on our Campari seeds producing any
tomatoes for us this year. The plant was healthy, about six foot tall.
There were occasional yellow blossoms which we tickled with a q-tip to
try to fertilize them. But in the end -- nothing. We have now chopped
the plant up and put it out with the trash.
OTOH, our son did manage to get some fruit from his share of the
seedlings. BUT, he planted outside and I planted in a bay window --
albeit with a lot of sun.
1 cn 28oz Italian plum tomatoes
1 c Broth(veg, chick, or beef)
1 c Rice, brown, QUICK COOKING
1 ts Garlic; minced; or more
2 Bay leaves
1 ts Dried basil
1 ts Dried thyme
1 ts Tabasco; or to taste
1 lg Green pepper; 1 inch pieces
1 cn 16oz can black eyed peas
Drained
Chopped parsley or chives
For garnish
Cut green pepper into 1 inch pieces. Combine tomatoes, broth, rice,
garlic, bay leaves, basil, thyme and hot pepper sauce in a large
saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower heat and
cook according to manufacturers directions. Add the canned black
eyed peas 10 to 12 minutes before rice is done. Stir at least once.
Remove and discard bay leaves. Sprinkle with parsley if desired.
This is a Louisiana inspired stew, rich and fairly thick. For a
thinner stew, add additional broth.
Serving suggestion: Serve with garlic bread.
