AUTHENTIC GAZPACHO RECIPE
Great recipe for how to make authentic, fresh, delicious Spanish gazpacho. Try it!
Prep/Tot Time : 15 mins
Servings : 4-6
INGREDIENTS
· 2 pounds ripe roma tomatoes, halved and cored*
· 1 small (1/2 lb) cucumber, peeled and seeded
· 1 medium green bell pepper, cored
· 1/2 small red onion, peeled
· 2 small garlic cloves (or 1 large clove), peeled
· 3 tablespoons olive oil
· 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
· 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
· 1/2 teaspoon freshly-cracked black pepper
· 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
· 1 thick slice of white bread, soaked**, crusts removed
· optional garnishes: homemade croutons, chopped fresh herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, or any leftover chopped gazpacho ingredients
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Combine all ingredients together in a blender or food processor. Puree for 1 minute, or until the soup reaches your desired consistency. Taste and season with extra salt, pepper and/or cumin if needed.
2. Refrigerate in a sealed container for 4 hours, or until completely chilled.
3. Serve cold, topped with your desired garnishes.
NOTES
*To core your tomatoes, simply scoop out and discard the seeds and any tough white core.
**To soak your bread (which will make for better blending), I recommend running it under the sink for a second to soak it with water. Then just ring it out completely, and add the bread to the blender or food processor.
