Beetroot Gazpacho….

One of my favourite recipe books has to be Moro East by Sam and Sam Clark. It combines so many of the flavours I love both from Morocco and Spain in some wonderful recipes. (In fact I love their other two books, The Moro Cookbook and Casa Moro as well!).
I saw their recipe for Beetroot Gazpacho a while back and finally got around to making it for lunch today! Morocco finally seems to be slipping into autumn; but the weather is still nice enough for a chilled soup! It is both a delicious and super healthy soup with the most beautiful scarlet red colour!
So here with for Meat Free Monday my adapted version of
Beetroot Gazpacho:
1 Tin whole tomatoes
1 cup vegetable stock
3 Ready cooked beetroot (their version uses raw)
1 cucumber peeled and chopped
½ red onion, finely chopped
1 tsp crushed garlic
1 bunch basil
3 Tbs Olive Oil
2Tbs Sherry Vinegar
Salt and black pepper
Put all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
Chill in the fridge for a few hours before serving with some crusty bread.
Have a wonderful week.
