Jelled Tomato Aspic
We've had this recipe for years, but finally put it in the cookbook.
Ingredients:
2-3 envelopes of Knox Unflavored Gelatin
46 oz Tomato Juice
Salt & Pepper
2-3 Tablespoons Splenda
1 bay leaf
Dash Cayenne Pepper
Dash Basil
Dash Oregano
1-2 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
1-2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
1 Avocado, chopped [optional]
Procedures:
Dissolve the gelatin in 1 cup of the tomato juice.
Meanwhile, put the rest of the juice and the remaining ingredients in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Add the gelatin mixture and boil for 2-3 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and discard.
Spray a Jell-O mold with Pam. Put the avocado in the bottom of the mold and cover with the juice mixture. Chill for 4-6 hours or until set.
Note: To keep the avocado in one layer, cover the avocado with a layer of the mixture and chill partially, and then cover with the rest of the mixture.
When fully set, unmold to a plate and garnish with mayonnaise.
This doesn't freeze well.
