Summery Gazpacho
By MrsLuptonJones, Me & Mr Jones
Raw veg can be a bit blah if you're eating them on their own but blitz a few up together and hey presto - gazpacho!...
- 900g tomatoes (about 6)
- 1 red pepper
- ΒΌ cucumber, skin removed
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 1 inch piece of ginger, minced
- 1 small handful of coriander, minced
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- Ground black pepper, to taste
Gramps' Truffles
By MrsLuptonJones, Me & Mr Jones
Many years ago when I was in elementary school in South Dakota we had to come up with a business idea
- 175grams (6 oz) of biscuit crumbs. I used Tesco's cheapest own brand digestive biscuits. Either put them in a food processor to reduce them to crumbs, or simply cover them with baking paper and use a rolling in to crush them.
- 30grams (1 or 2 ounces) of raisins, chopped small. Again, a food processor with blade if you have one. Otherwise a knife on a board.
- 40g (1.5 ounces) hazlenuts, finely chopped. A coffee grinder or blender does this well.
- 50g (2 ounces) ground almonds. Tesco's will have this in stock in the baking section.
- 50g (2 ounces) blackcurrent jam.
- 15ml (one good teaspoon) of brandy. If you have no brandy (cognac) use rum.
- Coating = about half a pound (250g++) of cooking chocolate. Tesco's sell their own brand of rich 72% cocoa solids chocolate, which is better than milk choc for this job, if you don't like cooking chocolate.
