HOW TO FIRE ROAST TOMATOES
In a search for fire roasted tomatoes for my recipe for Recipe #390602, I found this homemade version. Fire roasted tomatoes add a smoky flavor to a variety of foods. They cook quickly on a gas range or charcoal grill. Much more economical than store bought; freezable, too. p.s. Using any other tomato probably will not work for they turn out mushy.

Steps:
- Slice the tomatoes in half lengthwise (from stem to tip) and brush the cut sides with olive oil. Place the tomatoes cut side down over a medium flame on a gas grill. If using a charcoal grill, place the tomatoes in the middle of the grill over briquettes that are medium-hot.
- When the tomatoes develop dark char marks (about 5 to 8 minutes depending on size and heat of grill). Continue cooking until the skins begin to blacken in spots. Then, remove the tomatoes from the grill, pile them in a bowl, tightly cover with plastic wrap and set aside.
- When the tomatoes are cool enough to handle, peel off the blackened skins and dice the flesh, making sure to reserve the juices.
- Use immediately or pack tomatoes in a freezer proof container with juices.

Steps:
- Working in 2 batches and using on/off turns, finely chop cucumber and bell pepper in processor. Add 2 cups tomato juice and remaining ingredients; blend to coarse puree. Season to taste with salt. Transfer to bowl. Cover and chill 2 hours for flavors to develop. Mix in more tomato juice by 1/4 cupfuls if too spicy.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This is key to making a great gazpacho. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have a slight give when you press them.
- Roast the tomatoes before blending them. Roasting the tomatoes concentrates their flavor and makes them sweeter.
- Use a food processor or blender to puree the tomatoes. Make sure to blend them until they are completely smooth.
- Add your favorite seasonings. Common seasonings for gazpacho include garlic, onion, cucumber, bell pepper, and cilantro.
- Chill the gazpacho before serving. Gazpacho is best served cold, so make sure to chill it for at least an hour before serving.

Fire-roasted tomato gazpacho is a delicious and refreshing soup that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you have a craving for a cold, flavorful soup, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
