Gazpacho Recipe
Last week we had a lot of tomatoes to contend with and were interested in
trying something new. We made a batch of this Gazpacho, a chilled soup, and it was a big hit with everyone who tried it. Very refreshing and dense with interesting and vibrant flavour.
Ingredients
6 large tomatoes or 1 basket of cherry tomatoes
1 bell pepper
Half a large onion
1-2 cloves of garlic
Parsley and/or Cilantro for flavour
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar
1 cup of cold water
Preparation
Roughly chop tomatoes, pepper, onion, garlic and add to a blender
Add 1 cup of cold water, a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, and a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar.
Add in a pinch of salt and pepper and blend until the ingredients are fully integrated. Don't over-blend and cause the mixture to warm up.
Serve cold or chilled and garnish with cilantro, parsley, a dash of olive oil, and some croutons
Enjoy!
