Gazpacho is a traditional cold soup made with tomatoes and peppers. A great summer favourite, anyone who has eaten it on a hot summer day knows how refreshing it can be. One of the things I love is all the toppings you can add to it.
Traditional gazpacho is a refreshing soup served cold. This easy recipe is prepared with ripe tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and onions.
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
Serves: 8 people
Ingredients:
• 5 very ripe tomatoes about 1 kg
• 4 seedless bell peppers, cleaned inside, cut into chunks
• 1 cucumber peeled and cut into pieces
• ½ small purple onion
• 1 clove of garlic optional
• Salt to your taste
• Olive oil to your taste
• Some tbsp of vinegar to your taste
Instructions:
1. Peel the tomatoes. A simple way to do this is to bring the water to a boil, cut a cross into the base of each tomato, place them in boiling water for 2 minutes. They will start to peel on their own. Remove the tomatoes and run them under cold water, then remove them.
2. Place tomatoes, peppers, cucumber, onion, garlic and salt in a blender. Blend until you get a creamy consistency. Stop before for a gazpacho with a few small pieces.
3. Pour into a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a plate and refrigerate for a few hours before serving.
4. Mix olive oil and sherry vinegar or lemon juice before serving, and serve with a garnish of your choice
