6 large ripe or over-ripe tomatoes, roughly chopped
1 large red capsicum, chopped and seeded
1 medium sized cucumber, peeled and roughly chopped
2-3 cloves garlic
A few drops of Kaitaia Fire (optional)
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp red wine vinegar or sherry vinegar (may need more)
1 tsp salt
Place all in blender and blend on high speed for a minute or 2. Taste. It may need more vinegar and/or salt. If your tomatoes are not the ripest or are lacking in flavour then add a tbsp of tomato paste to the mix before blending. After blending you can strain it through a mesh strainer (not too fine of a strainer though) but this is an optional step. Serve very cold either in a glass (Spanish style) or in a bowl.
I really like the fact that I am encouraged to cook with what arrives in the veg bag, often new, exciting veg. It makes me more adventurous and my meals are healthier based on seasonal ingredients and veg grown naturally, no chemicals.
