AUTHENTIC GAZPACHO RECIPE

Steps:

• Wash and dry all of the vegetables very well-if you prefer to peel the tomatoes you can, although I usually leave the skin on.
• Cut the tomatoes into 4 slices (leaving the core behind) and put into your blender.
• Halve, core, and de-seed the pepper. Cut it into a few slices and add to the blender.
• Peel the garlic and slice it in half. Remove the core (which often results in bitterness when not cooked).
• Cut the onion into a few slices and add it to the blender too.
• Peel the cucumber and cut it in half. Add half to the blender and save the other half for a topping.
• Blend the vegetables at a high speed until it is completely pureed.
• Add the salt and vinegar and, while blending on a slow speed, slowly add the olive oil.
• Taste and adjust salt and vinegar. If the texture is too thick for your liking add some cold water.
• Refrigerate and serve VERY cold! Add as many (or as few) toppings as you like.

EASY GAZPACHO FROM CANNED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Optional - blanch the onions and garlic to keep the flavour, but remove much of the fierceness. Put the chopped onion and garlic in a sieve and pour a kettle of boiling water over them.
• Prepare the red pepper and cucumber, by dicing roughly. Reserve a spoonful of each for the garnish and to add extra texture if desired.
• Place the remaining canned tomatoes, onion, garlic, red pepper and cucumber in a bowl and whizz with an immersion or stick blender (or use a jug blender or food processor).
• Add the lemon juice, vinegar and olive oil and generously season with pepper & salt. Whizz again until all the oil is emulsified. Check the seasoning and add more if needed.
• Quickly whizz in the reserved ingredients for a chunkier soup.
• Chill for several hours before garnishing and serving. Eat within 24 hours.

EASY GAZPACHO RECIPE (SMOOTH OR CHUNKY)

Steps:

• BLEND VEGETABLES: Place all ingredients except oil in a deep pot/bowl if using an immersion blender stick or in a blender. If using a blender, you may need to do two batches. Blend until almost smooth, at least 2 minutes. Scrape down sides as needed.
• STRAIN VEGETABLES (if you want a smooth gazpacho): Place a coarse meshed strainer over a bowl and empty in the blended vegetable mixture. Using a large spoon, scrape the vegetables against the strainer to release as much liquid into the bowl as possible. Also scrape off the underside of strainer into the bowl. Spoon solids/pulp into a small bowl. Add a drizzle of oil, salt and chopped parsley to taste. This will be used as a garnish or add-in for those who like chunkier gazpacho.
• ADD OIL TO EMULSIFY: If using a blender, place the now-strained liquid back into blender. If using a immersion stick, place it in the bowl with the liquid. Turn on machine and slowly add the oil while machine is running. This will emulsify or slightly thicken the liquid to a smooth silky consistency. Add a bit more oil if needed. Liquid will now have more body (and even more once refrigerated). Taste and adjust seasonings as needed (more vinegar, more salt).
• REFRIGERATE AND SERVE: Pour into pitcher or container and put in fridge for 2 hours or more. Serve with reserved solids on the side (for people to add) and one or more garnishes if desired.

GAZPACHO

Steps:

• Roughly chop the cucumbers, bell peppers, tomatoes, and red onions into 1-inch cubes. Put each vegetable separately into a food processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse until it is coarsely chopped. Do not overprocess!
• After each vegetable is processed, combine them in a large bowl and add the garlic, tomato juice, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well and chill before serving. The longer gazpacho sits, the more the flavors develop.
