Tomato Aspic Recipe image

Once upon a time, tomato aspics were the brilliant red centerpieces of luncheon buffets. They were peppered with pimiento-stuffed olives or crisp bits of celery, chilled in ring-shaped molds, turned out onto lettuce-lined trays, and filled with the hostess's signature blend of chicken or shrimp salad.

TOMATO ASPIC



Tomato Aspic image

Classic tomato aspic - can be served as a first course as is, or with the addition of shrimp,crabmeat and/or avocado. Serve with home made mayonnaise - Recipe #441844. Please do not use store bought mayonnaise with this dish. Also, you mush use full-fat brick cream cheese - do not use low fat cream cheese or the type which comes in tubs - if you do the cream cheese layer will not set properly. When it comes to the celery, what you really want to use is the leaves from the celery; Food.com wouldn't let me list that as an ingredient, but that's what you should use. I use Gold's prepared fresh grated horseradish in this recipe. It can be found in the refrigerated section. If you cannot find the packets of Knox gelatin, the amount of bulk unflavored gelatin to use is one ounce.This should be made the day before you wish to serve it - the aspic needs to be refrigerated overnight in order to set. "Cooking Time" is refrigeration time.

DOLLIE'S TOMATO ASPIC



Dollie's Tomato Aspic image

This was my grandmother's (Dollie Cowan) recipe. She often served this at luncheons. Tomato aspic sounds a little strange to people nowadays, but it was very popular in the South in the 1930s-50s. Dollie served it on butter lettuce with a little mayonnaise on top.

TOMATO ASPIC RECIPE



Tomato Aspic Recipe image

Provided by Peonys

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 3/4 cup of V8
1 package of lemon jello
2 Tablespoons of fresh lemon juice.

Steps:

  • Follow the directions on the lemon jello package, substituting the V8 for the water. When the gelatin is disolved, pour the aspic into individual gelatin molds or one mold. Refidgerate until firm. Serve on lettuce leaves and a dollop of mayonase.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly affect the taste of your aspic. Choose ripe, juicy tomatoes with a deep red color.
  • Chill your ingredients thoroughly before assembly: This will help the aspic set properly. You can chill the tomato juice, vinegar, and gelatin mixture in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, and the tomato slices and vegetables in a bowl of ice water for at least 15 minutes.
  • Use a variety of colors and textures: For a more visually appealing aspic, use a variety of different colored vegetables, such as red bell peppers, green onions, and yellow squash. You can also add some chopped hard-boiled eggs or cooked shrimp for a protein boost.
  • Garnish your aspic before serving: A simple garnish of fresh herbs, such as basil or chives, can really make your aspic pop. You can also use a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream to add some extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Tomato aspic is a classic dish that is perfect for a summer party or potluck. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. With a little creativity, you can create a beautiful and delicious aspic that will impress your guests.
