Gazpacho

[Guest guest]

I got this recipe from a non-vegetarian cookbook, and it is very good. You

can't really go wrong when you use fresh veggies. :-)

 

Gazpacho

 

4 cups tomato juice

2 cups chopped seeded peeled tomatoes

1 cup diced green pepper

1 cup diced celery

1 cup diced seeded cucumber

2 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 cup diced onion

1/3 cup tarragon vinegar

2 Tbs minced fresh parsley

1 Tbs minced chives

1 tsp Worchestershire sauce

1 tsp salt, optional

1/2 tsp pepper

2 Tbs vegetable oil

 

In a large bowl, combine the first 13 ingredients. Cover and chill for at least

4

hours. Stir in oil before serving. Serve cold. Yield: 8 servings

To be well informed, one must read quickly a great number of merely

instructive books. To be cultivated, one must read slowly and with a lingering

appreciation the comparatively few books that have been written by men who

lived, thought, and felt with style.
