While Rob and I were in Europe, we collected a list of recipes to try when we get back, some inspired by the food we are while we were there, and some not. The following recipe is one I have made before, but never got around to blogging about!
Ingredients:
1 red pepper, seeded and chopped
4 green onions, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 or 2 jalapeno peppers (depending on how spicy you'd like), seeded and chopped
3 tomatoes, chopped
1 540 ml can of tomato juice
1 540 ml can of black beans
2-3 tbsp of red wine vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
- Put red pepper, green onion, garlic, and jalapenos into food processor. Blend until finely chopped.
- Add tomatoes and blend until smooth.
- Stir in the tomato juice, black beans, and vinegar.
- Season to taste.
- Serve ice cold.
This recipe is really refreshing, but I did make a few small changes to it. I like to add a bit of cucumber (peeled and chopped) into this recipe. You can also use coriander to season it, or add some tabasco sauce for a bit more bite.
A refreshing meal for hot summer days!
