Ingredients

2 pounds vine-ripened tomatoes 1 jalapeno, sliced ½ clove garlic ½ cup water 1 lemon, juiced 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 2 tablespoons hot prepared horseradish 2 teaspoons hot sauce 1 teaspoon kosher salt 2 teaspoons ground black pepper For Service: 6 ounces Burrata cheese freshly ground black pepper to taste 4 drizzles olive oil

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by blending the tomatoes, celery, jalapeno, and garlic together with some water until everything is really smooth. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to catch any skins and discard what’s left behind. Stir in the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, horseradish, hot sauce, salt, and pepper, then give it a good whisk. Taste and tweak the seasoning if needed. Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge for at least a couple of hours to chill completely. When you’re ready to serve, ladle about a cup of the cold mixture into each bowl. Top each one with a nice dollop of burrata, sprinkle some black pepper over it, and finish with a drizzle of olive oil.
