Beet Gazpacho, Calamaretti and Chive Sour Cream

Prepare beet with the peel, only then remove the peel.

Rinse cucumber, remove peel, cut in half, remove core and chop coarsely.

Rinse red bell pepper, quarter, remove core and chop coarsely.

Remove peel from shallot and chop finely.

Roughly dice half of the beet and blend finely with the beet, juice, cucumber, shallot, tomato juice and olive oil in a hand blender.

Squeeze the juice from the lemon and season the beet soup with a small amount of juice from one lemon, salt and chili spice, then pass through a fine sieve.

Rinse the chives, shake dry and chop. Mix the sour cream or crème fraiche with the chives and season with sea salt.

Finely dice the remaining beet.

Rinse and chop the calamaretti. Fry hot in a frying pan with sunflower oil or other vegetable oil, season with a squeeze of juice from a lemon, sea salt and pepper and drain on kitchen roll.

Place beet cubes and calamaretti in the center of the soup plate form, pour on the gaspacho. Arrange the chive sour cream in small dessert bowls with spoon.

Tip: As an alternative to the fresh chives, you can also use the freeze-dried.
