Success!
Gazpacho
This recipe comes from How to Cook Everything Vegetarian, 2007
2 lbs tomatoes
1 medium cucumber
2 or 3 slices day-old bread
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon minced garlic
salt and ground black pepper
1. Combine tomatoes, cucumber, bread, oil, vinegar, and garlic with 1 cup water in a blender; process until smooth.
2. Taste and add salt and pepper.
I didn't add the bread or put it in the blender. I just served it chunky and it is delicious! I will try blending it next time. I used a combination of Roma and big purplish tomatoes from our garden. Next year I want to plant a gazpacho plot with tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, garlic. This is a quick and refreshing summer recipe!
