Gazpacho Recipe

My son just had his first taste of V-8.  He said he didn’t really care for it, and neither do I. But I did tell him I had a gazpacho recipe that I liked that used it, but that I hadn’t made it in years.  I decided to dig out this recipe and let him try it.  We’ll find out what he thinks.

Serves: 4 – 6

Ingredients

• 4 cups V-8 Juice (I like to use the spicy)
• 1 Red Onion
• 4 Roma Tomatoes, coarsely chopped
• 2 Tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
• 2 to 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 3 Tbsp Fresh Lime Juice
• 1 Tbsp Red Wine Vinegar
• 1 tsp Tarragon
• 1/2 tsp Cumin
• 2 Tbsp Cilantro, chopped
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 2 Tbsp Orange Juice, freshly squeezed
• Salt, to taste
• Pepper, to taste

How to Make the Gazpacho

1. Simply combine all the ingredients and chill for 2 hours.
2. Serve chilled

Yesterday I roasted a bunch and put them in the freezer.  The house smelled so good, but I didn’t prepare anything with them.  So next time I may try it with some roasted red peppers added as well.
