Real Spanish Gazpacho From Spain Recipes

REAL SPANISH GAZPACHO

Steps:

• The first thing to do (after washing your hands lol) is to peel and deseed the tomatoes, garlic, pepper and cucumber.
• Wet the bread with some water and put all the ingredients in a food processor. And that's it!
• You can add water if you want your gazpacho more liquid, but I recommend you not to add too much. Also you can add some onion or/and more garlic to taste.
• Refrigerate and serve cold (you can add ice instead of water).
• This is the gazpacho recipe but it is usually eaten with toasted breadcrumbs,or/and minced boiled egg and minces cured ham, or even with some cucumber cubes.

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.
