 | | Directions |
- Start the grill or use and indoor grill pan.
- Grill tomatoes, peppers and onions over medium heat, turning occasionally until vegetables are well charred all over. Do not grill the cucumber. The skins on the tomatoes will split and fall away.
- As the vegetables finished grilling, place them on a baking sheet to cool. When cool enough to handle, peel, seed and remove the stems.
- Transfer vegetables and garlic to a food processor and purée.
- With the processor on, gradually add 1/4 cup of olive oil, then vinegar.
- Transer to a bowl.
- Stir in herbs and tomato juice.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Refrigerate until chilled.
- Ladle into bowls, drizzle with olive oil if desired.
- Sprinkle with fresh herbs and parmesan cheese if desired.
