Refreshing Garden Ginger Sauce
Hi all,
Hope your week has started well. I’ve been very busy working late most nights but it’s been productive and progressive and I’m enjoying it.
Tonight I felt like something very light and simple but full of “zing”. After a quick look in my fridge I managed to throw together a sauce that was all of these things. Welcome to Garden Ginger Sauce. If you are a ginger fan, this recipe is worth a try. You can add more or less ginger to suit your tastes but I definitely suggest erring on the side of caution initially, as the flavour can quickly become overpowering. I used this sauce as a salsa-like dip for some veggie crudites, but it would also be great poured over a salad of greens, as a sauce for spiralised zucchini or kelp noodles or even just eaten straight as a raw soup. Definitely a great choice for a light lunch time or evening meal.
Garden Ginger Soup
4 roma tomatoes (or other very ripe tomatoes of your choice)
1 zucchini
1 red capsicum (bell pepper)
1 clove of garlic
Thin slice of ginger (start with less, add more to get the kick you prefer)
Juice of half a lemon
1/3 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
5 drops of stevia (you could also use a teaspoon of agave or honey)
Chop all the ingredients and put into a blender. You can put the tomatoes and lemon juice at the bottom of the blender to help the blending process. Blend until well combined. That’s it! I garnished mine with some chopped basil straight out of the garden. Some fresh corn off the cob and a chopped tomato would also have been lovely.
Enjoy!
Love,
Casey
