ROASTED MARY WITH HOT PICKLED GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Wash and dry the tomatoes and remove the stems. Put the tomatoes, garlic, onions and jalapeno in a large glass baking dish (9 by 13-inch). Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until just starting to brown, about 45 to 60 minutes. Remove from the oven, let cool and put through a food mill to remove the seeds and skin. Add the mixture to a medium bowl and puree with stick blender. Pour into a large glass container and refrigerate. When cool, add the seasonings and the pickled vegetable juice and stir well.
• For service, add a few pickled green beans to each glass, fill with ice, and add 2 ounces vodka. Pour in the prepared tomato juice, stir and serve immediately.
• *Cook's Note: Seeds-in for hot, seeds-out for medium-hot. If you cannot find a red chile, substitute 2 jalapenos. A red chile is a ripened jalapeno.
• In a small saucepan, over high heat, bring the water to a boil, then turn off the heat and add 1 teaspoon salt and the agave, stirring until dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool.
• In a glass bowl, add the vinegar, lime juice, lime slices, peppercorns, chile peppers, and whole and minced garlic. Stir in the cooled salt-agave water mixture.
• Wash and trim the green beans. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium heat. Stir in the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt, then add the beans. Cook until the beans begin to turn bright green and are just tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and drain. Rinse immediately with cold water and put them in an ice bath for 10 minutes. Drain well.
• If you are canning, prepare the jar(s) according to processing directions, add the beans and then cover with the vinegar chile pepper mixture. Process in a canning pot for 3 minutes, remove and cool.
• You can also put them in sterilized jars and refrigerate instead of doing the canning process. Just keep under refrigeration and eat within 1 month. Whichever method suits you best, allow these to marinate for 48 hours before eating.

CAJUN BLOODY MARY WITH PICKLED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Working in batches, puree the canned tomatoes and their thick puree in a food processor until smooth. You should have a rich liquid with no lumps.
• Combine the puree with the tomato juice in a large bowl, blending well.
• Add the celery salt, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne, Tabasco, and vodka. Season with salt; you may need more than you expect to bring up the flavor of the mix (canned tomatoes have less salt than tomato juice). Keep the mixture cold.
• For each serving, fill an 8-ounce tumbler with ice cubes. Pour about 4 ounces of the Bloody Mary mixture over the ice, which should almost fill the glass. Garnish with pickled vegetables, at least three pieces per drink.
• Vegetable Garnishes
• Here are a few specific ideas:
• Pickled Okra. This, of course, is the perfect garnish for a Cajun Bloody Mary. Strive to find it! Luckily, a company called Talk 0' Texas makes pickled okra in two varieties (I prefer the "hot"), and distributes the product to supermarkets across the country.
• Pickled String Beans. This is another pickled vegetable you often see in Louisiana Bloodies. A Washington State company called Hogue Farms makes a pickled string bean that is widely distributed.
• Pickled Asparagus Spears. Hogue Farms makes this as well.
• Pepperoncini. Also called "Tuscan peppers," and available in most supermarkets across the U.S.
• Pickled Cocktail Onions. Available everywhere. I like to thread three of them on a fancy toothpick, then assemble dozens of these picks on a plate.
• Pimiento-Stuffed Olives. Choose smaller olives, and arrange on toothpicks like the cocktail onions.
