Watermelon Gazpacho (from Harry)

...is easy.

  • Take a watermelon.
  • Cut out the red.
  • Take a potato masher and mash. Drain through a colander. Try to get as much of the mushy mashy part as you can without the seeds. I shake the seeds off what attaches to the masher and then use a knife to remove the red mash from the masher.
  • Cook some chopped up celery -- maybe with some onions? I boil these a little first.
  • Chop up 1/2 a clove of garlic quite fine.
  • Chop up all the herbs you like.
  • Add some cayenne.
  • Blend.
  • Add some chopped of jicima and red onion.
  • (you can blend anything else in you like -- ginger, cukes, peppers, etc. I'd avoid tomatoes as this would spoil the novelty).

This is what I do on Tuesday when we have extra hands helping at the farm -- cold soup. Basically you just blend vegetables

Sometimes I add ice in at the end. Especially if I've cooked something a bit.

You can add farina too, of course, to thicken if you like that sort of thing.

Enjoy --
