Gazpacho recipes
Our top 3 of 15 Gazpacho recipes
Ingredients
- 3-4 tomatos (depend on size)
- ½ cucumber
- 1 carrot
- 1 red pepper (green it's ok too)
- 1 onion
- shot extra virgin olive oil
- 1 jar of cold water
- a bit of bread (baguette or ciapatta)
Method
- Wash all the ingredients.
- Cut the tomatoes in 4 and put them in the blender (use spanish tomatoes or italian, they are the ones that give all the flavoutt to the dish!!).Peel the cucumber and cut 2/3 into the blender. Cut the pepper in pieces, and 1/2 of the onion to and add it to the blender (the onion is opcional, some people don't like to take uncooked onion, some do, your choice). Peel the carrot and cut it in pieces and to the blender. The order of putting the ingredients is important because the get mixed better :).
- So now you have all the ingredients in the blender but 1/2 onion and 1/3 cucumber cut them in small pieces and put them aside.
- Fill the blender with the cold water up to the level where the vegetables are plus an inch.
- Blend!!! Slowly add the oil while the blender is blending (the amount of oil depends on taste but a shot is about right). Now while blending add salt to taste... just add, and try, and add again. Some people also add a little bit of red wine vinager here, again your choice, I prefer not to do it :).
- Cut the bread in small pieces and put it in the table with the cut onion and cucumber, people can add that to taste.
- You are done!! Was it difficult? Serve inmediatly or keep in a bottle in the fridge (you will have to mixed it again if it stays more than half a day)
