Gazpacho Recipe

Cooling and Delicious !

 

During the long, sunny summer days in Gran Alacant, a great way to cool down is with a tasty chilled gazpacho; a hearty chilled soup that has the most amazing thirst-quenching quality.

 

There are as many ways to prepare Gazpacho as there are cooks in the Costa Blanca. This one has simple fresh ingredients that combine beautifully.

Method

 

1.  Reserve some of the cucumber, onion, and peppers to be diced and served as garnish.

 

2.  Put all the ingredients into a blender and blitz to your desired consistency. Some like the soup to be chunky, whilst others prefer a smooth texture.

 

3.  Put the blended mixture into a glass bowl with some ice cubes, and chill in the fridge for a minimum of an hour.


Ingredients

 

21 oz tomatoes

1 fresh Chilli seeded

2 cloves of garlic

2 onions

2 red and green peppers

1 cucumber

7 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1 1/2 tablespoons of water

1 teaspoon cumin

Bread for toast


 

 

4. The flavour will improve over time and can be prepared up to a day in advance.

 

5.  Serve in bowls with the reserved garnish and toasted bread, add an ice cube or two to each bowl if desired.

 

Variation: Adjust the chilli and/or cumin to suit your taste. Some people add tabasco as seasoning.
