Spicy Tomato Juice

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 4-6 cups tomatoes quartered
  • 1 carrot diced
  • 1 stalk celery diced
  • 1-2 hot peppers ribs and seeds removed and peppers diced
  • 1 bell pepper or 2 banana peppers diced
  • ½ cup fresh parsley or a ¼ cup dry
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1-2 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup water divided

Instructions
 

  • If you have a food mill, cook the tomatoes first and run them through the food mill to separate the seeds and skins from the pulp and juice.
  • Combine the ingredients in a sauce pan with ½ cup of water and bring to a simmer for 20-30 minutes. You only want it soft enough to run through the blender, you don't want to reduce it.
  • Pour in a blender, add the other ½ cup of water and blend until smooth.
  • Taste and adjust for salt and pepper and blend.
  • If you want you can run this through a sieve to remove any remaining seeds and pieces, but this will take a long time and the sieve tends to catch a lot of the good vegetable pulp that makes this so healthy.
