It's getting toasty here, and what better to have on a hot day than chilled soup? Gazpacho is one of the simplest things to make - you simply chop up ingredients, dump them in a blender, and add seasoning to taste. Doesn't get much easier!
Now, I won't claim to make the best gazpacho I've ever tasted, but I'd like to think that my years living in Spain ensure that the taste and consistency is accurate.
To make a blender full of gazpacho (enough for the whole family), you'll need these ingredients:
2 pieces of toast soaked in water (stale bread is traditional)
7 medium-sized tomatoes
2/3 cucumber
1 red pepper
1/2 red onion
1 large garlic clove
1 gram pepper
olive oil, sherry vinergar, white wine vinegar and salt to taste.
Basically, just blend all the chopped-up ingredients together and add as much of the other ingredients as you like! Start with small quantities and work your way up. Set it in the fridge to chill, and enjoy! Delicious and simple.
Let's eat!!!!
