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.

CLASSIC ANDALUSIAN GAZPACHO RECIPE

Steps:

• Grab the vegetables listed, wash, peel, and chop them. They will be processed later so don't worry about the size. Cut the bread into pieces too.
• Put them into your food processor or blender, add olive oil, water, sherry vinegar, bread, and seasoning. Blend everything until your cold soup reaches a creamy consistency. If you want it runnier just add more water, and if you like it thicker add more bread.
• Taste in case it needs more seasoning. As an optional step, you can run it through a fine strainer, this will help you remove any seed or vegetable skin left.
• Take your gazpacho Andaluz to the fridge for 1 and a half to 2 hours, or chill it in the freezer for 30 minutes. Serve cold.

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.
