SPICY BLACK-BEAN GAZPACHO (MAKES FOUR MAIN-COURSE
SERVINGS)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 red pepper, seeded and chopped
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
4 large green onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 *ripe* red tomatoes, chopped
1 can (19 oz/540 mL) black-beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (19 oz/540 mL) tomato juice
2 Tbs. (25 mL) red-wine vinegar, or to taste
1 Tbs. (15 mL) balsamic vinegar, or to taste
Salt and black pepper
1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped fresh coriander
FF sour cream (optional)
*Place red pepper, jalapeno peppers, green onions, and garlic in food
processor; process until mixture is finely chopped. Transfer to large
bowl.
*Add tomatoes to food processor; process until finely chopped. Add to
pepper mixture, along with black-beans and tomato juice.
*Add vinegars to taste. Season with salt and pepper (although I imagine
salt could be passed as canned beans are often salty enough).
*Refrigerate until cold.
** NOTE: Tomato-based soups are at their best when chilled overnight so
flavors mellow.
TO SERVE: Ladle soup into chilled bowls, sprinkle with coriander, and top
with a dollop of FF sour cream.
Serve with grilled garlic and herb bread.
