From the Daily Shmooze This cold soup is ultimately refreshing-sweet-tart with a kick, clean but with complex layers of taste. It's awfully good with a spring barbeque with chicken, potato salad, and corn on the cob. Read more . And did I mention how easy it is to make? Serve small portions cold as a first course. Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds fresh ripe nectarines, cut up (about 6 of them--don't bother peeling) |
1 cup orange juice |
1/2 cup dry white wine (vermouth is good) |
1/4 teaspoon tabasco sauce |
1/2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar |
salt and white pepper to taste |
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, minced |
garnish: 1 cilantro leaf per serving |
Directions:
1. Puree the nectarines in a blender with the orange juice, wine, tabasco, and balsamic vinegar. Taste for seasoning. Add cilantro and pulse a few times to chop into a nice texture. Chill until ready to serve.
2. When ready to serve, pour into small bowls-nested glass bowls with shaved ice would be nice-top each with a cilantro leaf, and serve.
