Yellow-red Mr. Stripey tomatoes give this ice a light hue. Use red or purple tomatoes if you want a darker granita, if you prefer. Mixing purple basil with deep-green Italian basil yields a nuanced flavor and a lovely garnish.
Lemon is a bright partner for the caramelized leeks in this dish of Braised Chicken with Honey-Lemon Leeks. The leeks cook twice: They are sautéed, then roasted to meld with the honey and lemon.
