How to cook deliciously - Gazpacho Granita

1. Stage

To make granita: Quarter tomatoes and puree in a food processor with sugar and garlic. Strain puree through a sieve to discard seeds. Stir in basil, lemon juice, pepper, and salt.

2. Stage

Let mixture chill in refrigerator at least 20 minutes to allow flavors to develop.

3. Stage

To freeze granita: (Recommended method) Pour granita mixture into a wide and shallow container, such as a stainless steel baking dish (the shallower the container, the quicker the granita will freeze).

4. Stage

Cover with a lid, foil, or plastic wrap. Freeze mixture 1 to 2 hours, until it is solid around the edges. Take container out of freezer and scrape ice with a fork, mixing it from edges into center.

5. Stage

Repeat scraping and mixing process every 30 minutes or so (at least three times), until entire mixture has turned into small, sequined ice flakes. When ready to serve, “rake” with a fork to loosen the granita and spoon into serving dishes.

6. Stage

To make dressing: Whisk together all ingredients until blended.

7. Stage

To assemble salad: In a large bowl combine all ingredients; add dressing and toss to coat. Spoon granita on center of serving dishes. Arrange salad evenly around each.
