Gazpacho

There are many recipes on-line. This time, I did this (note that whatever I do, I never add bread, nor water):

  • 2 cucumbers, peeled and chopped
  • 2 red peppers, deseeded and chopped
  • 1 kg ripe plum tomatoes, cored and chopped
  • 5 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
  • 2 onions, trimmed and finely chopped
  • Large glug of the best olive oil you can find
  • Small glug of the best sherry or red wine vinegar you can find
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper.

Bonus tip if you are the lucky owner of both a food processor and a blender: Save yourself a lot of fine-chopping for the blender and run the vegetables in chunks in the food processor first, and then blend with the rest of the ingredients. Time-wise, that is worth the extra washing up.

Pour some of the gazpacho into an ice-cube tray and freeze. That way, you have ice cubes to add when serving that will not dilute the soup.
