Although the extreme heat of the summer may be over, the tomatoes are still exploding off their vines. If you've made salsa and sauce, sliced them and sprinkled them with salt and eaten them like an apple, you may be in need of a new recipe. Gazpacho is a cold soup made from fresh raw vegetables and is traditionally eaten in Spain and Portugal. There are several ways to prepare it, but here is the Co-op's recipe.
To make this gazpacho you will need: 1 32oz bottle of tomato juice or enough juice from fresh tomatoes 1 cup chopped cilantro 2 medium cucumbers, peeled and diced 3 large tomatoes, chopped 1 red green pepper, seeded and chopped 1/2 jalapeno, seeded and diced 1/2 red onion, diced 1/4 cup lemon juice 1/4 cup lime juice 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar 1 teaspoon sea salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
In a large bowl combine juices, vinegar, salt and pepper and stir to combine. Prepare all veggies and place into a the bowl with the liquid. Gently stir to combine. Serve with sour cream, cilantro and lime wedges.
