Cook the Book: Tomato and Strawberry Gaspacho

Posted by Adam Kuban, August 24, 2007 at 6:00 PM

And so the time has come to say goodbye to Vegetable Harvest, this week's featured book. Our final recipe from Patricia Well's potager-inspired cookbook is one that shouldn't tax you too much on the penultimate weekend of summer; it calls for only three ingredients and a blender.

Tomato and Strawberry Gaspacho

Ingredients

1 pound garden-fresh tomatoes, rinsed, cored, and quartered (do not peel)
1 pound fresh strawberries, rinsed and stemmed
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

Procedure

In a food processor or a blender, purée the tomatoes and the strawberries. Add the vinegar, and blend again. Taste for seasoning. Chill thoroughly before serving. Serve in small, clear glasses as a refreshing aperitif.
