African Cooking: Recipes
2/3 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
3 tablespoons strained fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons tomato Paste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 small cucumber
1 small ripe avocado, seeded, peeled and puréed in a food mill or mashed to a smooth paste with a fork (see avocado salad with ginger, page 62)
In a deep bowl, beat the pureed tomatoes, sour cream, milk, lemon juice, tomato paste and oil together with a whisk or spoon until they are well blended. Stir in the parsley, salt and pepper, and taste for seasoning. Cover tightly with foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate the soup for at least 2 hours, until thoroughly chilled.
With a small, sharp knife, peel the cucumber and slice it lengthwise in half. Scoop out the seeds by running the tip of a teaspoon down the center of each half. Cut the cucumber into 1/4 inch dice and set it aside in a small serving bowl.
Just before serving, beat the puréed avocado into the soup and taste for seasoning. Ladle the soup into a chilled tureen or individual bowls and serve at once accompanied by the chopped cucumbers.
