Fire Roasted Gazpacho

40 minutes / 4-5 servings
4 C Tomato juice, fresh
4 large Roma tomatoes, grilled (1 ½ C chopped)
2 / 3 C Filtered water or vegetable stock
2 / 3 C Cucumber, peeled, seeded & diced
2 / 3 C Corn, fresh or frozen
½ C Green bell pepper, diced
1 / 3 C Red onion, diced
3 Tbl Lime juice, fresh squeezed
3 Tbl Cilantro, minced
1 Tbl shoyu, or to taste
1 Tbl Basil, minced
1 ¼ tsp Cumin powder, toasted
1 tsp Garlic, minced
1 tsp Jalapeño pepper, seeded & minced,
½ tsp Chili powder,
½ tsp Hot sauce (optional)
Pinch Cayenne pepper
Sea salt, to taste
Black pepper, ground to taste

Loving preparation
1. Place tomatoes and juice in blender and blend until smooth. Place in a large mixing bowl with remaining ingredients and mix well. Serve chilled, the colder the better. Goes great with Korn Bread (page 108 of cookbook).VariationsCommercially-available Spicy Tomato Vegetable Juice may replace tomato juice, and canned fire roasted tomatoes may replace grilled tomatoes. For a Live Gazpacho, do not grill the tomatoes, roast the jalapeño pepper or toast the cumin powder and use freshly-juiced tomatoes
