| Sweet-and-Spicy Ketchup SERVINGS: MAKES 1 1/4 CUPS •F&W •STAFF-FAVORITE Paul Virant keeps this simple house-made ketchup on hand for staff meals when burgers or Chicago dogs are on offer for his cooks. He also likes to have it available to serve with his chicken tenders for children who come into the restaurant. For the base, Virant uses tomatoes his staff has canned during the summer, but store-bought tomato sauce also works. slideshow More Condiment Recipes | |
