Cooking Southwestern gazpacho (cafe terra cotta)

1. Recipe by: donna nordin Pureei the tomatoes and one of the onions in a food processor or blender until smooth, adding some of the tomato juice to liquefy.
2. Dicei the peppers, cucumbers, chile, and remaining onion and stir them into the puree.
3. Whiski the vinegar, oil, and garlic together in another bowl.
4. Stiri in the diced vegetables and the tomato puree.
5. Add the balance of the tomato juice, making sure the ingredients are well blended.
6. Whisk in the seasonings, adjusting to taste.
7. Chill and serve in soup bowls, garnished with chopped cilantro and a dollop of sour cream.
8. Note: try adding some yellow bell pepper when available for extra color.
9. Variation: recently at the restaurant we have begun to present this dish in a more dramatic way. Instead of mixing in the diced vegetables into the tomato puree in step 1, layer a small portion of each in a juice glass, then unmold it into the center of a deep plate or a shallow soup bowl.
