Is that bread, mashed potatoes, or a decaying liver next to the bowl?

I make a great gazpacho. It has lots of olive oil and balsamic vinegar and red, orange and yellow peppers--no green!

too many ingredients

[SonofMammaMiaSam]

Posted: 4/26/06 at 9:12am

Yes, but so much more flavor.

Oh, I'm teasing-actually I love to cook. I like to say" too many" something, from Amadeus when he said "too many notes".

I often make this when I am tired,a nd don't want to clean a pan:

Chop 3 tomatoes
2 cucumbers, peeled and chopped
small red onion, diced
2 bell peppers
1 clove minced garlic
1T EVOO
squeeze some lemon juice
4 cups v-8 tomato-based juice

add some crutons (garlic flavored are best), and maybe even some crab or shrimp.

It's nummy, and easy (if you don't mind a little chopping)

I make mine similar to SOMMS - with no green peppers (I don't like 'em). It's delish.

V8 makes a "spicy" version of the beverage - works quite well in gazpacho if you like it with a bit of a kick.

Ooh, touchme, I like that one even better. We should write a cookbook!

[SonofMammaMiaSam]

Posted: 4/26/06 at 9:45am

add a splash of vodka!

[papalovesmambo]

Posted: 4/26/06 at 9:54am

to the gazpacho, somms, or just in general?

[Craig]

Posted: 4/26/06 at 9:56am

Is Gazpacho approved by the Diels-A-Meals diet?

[SonofMammaMiaSam]

Posted: 4/26/06 at 9:57am

of course, in general papa! a splash behind each ear never fails to lure them in for the kill.

[papalovesmambo]

Posted: 4/26/06 at 10:01am

with ears as lovely as yours? hell, the vodka's just icing on the cake.

Posted: 4/26/06 at 11:01am

My tip is to roast & peel your peppers! Put the pepper on a gas burner on the stove and let the skin blacken. Turn pepper with tongs till all the pepper is black. Place into a plastic ziploc bag and let cool. Use a towel to rub off the blackened skin and then core and chop.

And I use only red wine vinegar to give it that tart taste. Chill it thorroughly but don't let it sit too long-- I think it's best the day it's made!

We should have a BWW potluck!

I'll bring the paper plates and the ice.

[touchmeinthemorning]
