Zuppa Fredda di Cetriolo e Pepe
HO CALDO!!! Looks like it’s up to me to take the heat off. (Will this weather ever break???) That said, what better than a Chilled Cucumber & Cubanelle Soup to bring down the temperature. (FYI – Cubanelle is an Italian frying pepper) Not sure where I got this recipe from originally, but I’ve changed it around over time. Instead of Roasted Cashews, I prefer Toasted Pine Nuts. In place of chives, I go for the more refreshing taste of Mint. For garnsh, chopped ingredients plus a little Red Cubannelle for contrast. Ahhhh, life “e freddo”. Ciao!
