The husband has just pointed out that I should have told you to peel the tomatoes before making the Spanish tomato drink in previous post – so, obviously, I am paying attention to him!
To Peel – cut a shallow circle around the tomato before dropping into a pan of simmering water. Leave for a few seconds before taking out and the skin should peel beautifully – if not, just pop back in for another few seconds.
Whilst on this PS, I thought I would just add another little recipe that you might think wouldn’t work – but does.
Melon Gazpacho – simply liquidise a whole melon – preferably a galia or cantaloupe for flavour. Add some lemon juice and salt and pepper. Chill. Grill some parma or proscuttio ham to crisp and break up into crumbs and sprinkle onto the soup to serve.
