Hi there, Miss Marisol here, back to you from La Coruña, Spain. Hope you were able to watch the Perseid Meteor Shower last night, it was amazing!
Today, It´s very hot and humid in La Coruña and I decided to make some Gazpacho Cold Soup with my home grown tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers, yes! from my own back yard... 100% organic and full of flavor!
It is a wonderful way to cool you down in a hot summer day! So here is this very easy recipe for you to try and enjoy with family and friends!
Lets start cooking!
Ingredients
1½ kg red tomatoes, peeled and roughly chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
2 – 3 cloves garlic
1 small cucumber (or half a long cucumber), chopped
1 small bread roll, soaked in water
olive oil
white wine vinegar
salt
water
Preparation
There are two ways of preparing gazpacho: you can either use an electric food processor/blender and then pass it through a sieve, or you can use a food mill (a mouli). The important thing is to get rid of all the pips, skins, etc.
First, blend and sieve, or mill, all the vegetables into a large bowl. Then squeeze the water out of the bread roll and add to the tomato/vegetable mixture. Add two tablespoons of olive oil and a tablespoon of vinegar. Season with salt and blend well. Check the taste and add as much water as necessary depending on whether you will be drinking or eating it with a spoon. Chill thoroughly before serving. If you are using bowls, finely chop some cucumber, green pepper, tomato, and hard-boiled egg to use for the garnish.
