I have tomatoes. Onions. Peppers. Cukes. Olive oil. I can get parsley and garlic. And I have a food processor for mixing it all up. So I’m looking for recipes.
My mother-in-law makes a good version following a modified Cook’s Illustrated recipe (modified mostly to exclude garlic, which Leah can’t eat). It goes a little something like this:
1.5 .lb tomatoes
1 .lb red peppers ( I used green which R says isn’t as good)
1 .lb cukes
1/2 sweet onion ( I used chives)
2 medium gloves of garlic (needless to say…)
2 tsps salt
1/3 cup sherry or wine vinegar
5 cups tomato juice ( they recommend Welchs)
1 tsp tobasco sauce (optional)I added the t juice after I had the other stuff blended. Chill and add
about 1 tsp olive oil when serving
I also found a tasty-looking recipe in my “Joy…” that looks like it won’t disappoint. I think I’ll make two big batches, one with garlic and jalapeno (the Joy version calls for an optional jalapeno), and one “unleaded” version.
Anyone out there have a favorite recipe they’d recommend?
