It’s true. The Rubies team has gone and brought back the banana to their stunning line-up. And it’s going by the name of Top Banana, Ketchup. If I’m 100% honest, I was 100% skeptical. And 100% certain I needed to try it right away. Fortunately for me, I did, and with no less than a platter of freshly baked sweet potato fries. And it 100% works.
As it turns out, for a first-time-maker, hesitant-fan, of gazpacho, I’m rather a fan of this recipe; it beautifully salvages the season’s overripe strawberries, greens included, uses up a handful of day-old bread, keeps refrigerated or frozen, quick AND easy make ahead meal, perfectly refreshing in summer, won first place in last week’s canapés contest and last but not least, is a PROVEN gazpacho converter [myself included, now a huge fan, unbiased I promise].
When it's cold and you're desperately looking for any reason to stay in bed... this will get you out (just long enough for you to snag yourself a slice and hop right back in... but that didn't come from me). More importantly, the solution for the mounds of canned fruit crammed in the back of your store cupboard; accumulated over the years of Christmas dinners, French toast topping supplies and pantry stocking.
