Our next door neighbors- who maintain the garden in our joint backyard- have left for a fellowship year in the Netherlands. This means that there is a blot of herbs and tomatoes and flowers that need to be tended to and eaten, in addition to my standing farmshare subscriptions.
And so it was that I found myself almost buried under tomatoes and cucumbers and peppers. I want to share how I solved the problem, since it was both easy and delicious. Gazpacho! You can Google recipes for the finer points, but I used tomatoes, cukes and bell pepper in a ratio of 4:2:1, with some oil and vinegar and mint and basil (due to an herb garden mix up). Pulse blender the whole mess, leave it in the fridge a couple hours and then pull it out for dinner- maybe with garlic toast.
At Casa Seguin, we served it with tomato pesto noodles. Who would have thought vegetables could be so yummy?
