A delicious and healthy Mediterranean recipe, easy, cheap and fast to make (10 min).
Gazpacho is a chilled tomato soup, with many vegetables & garlic. It is a Spanish recipe from Sevilla/Seville (Andalucia/Andalusia).
Ingredients:
1 Litre Drews tomato juice (for 3-4 servings)
1/4 cup vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic (crushed)
Various vegetables diced into small cubes
(choose from: cucumber, onion/spring onions, green/red pepper, celery/fennel, tomatoes, chick peas, hard boiled eggs, olives, you could also serve with a cup of cooked, cooled rice)
Croutons to serve
Preparation:
Chill the tomato juice in the fridge before cooking. Pour the juice into a large jug, add the vinegar, olive oil and crushed garlic. Wait for 3 minutes before mixig vigorously - this can all be done in a blender if you prefer. Add a pinch of salt and put back into the fridge until chilled and ready to serve. If you are in a hurry you can serve the soup with ice cubes floating in it which helps to chill it.
Prepare the vegetables by peeling and chopping into small cubes. Serve separately in many small dishes at the table.
Serve cold, in soup bowls. Everyone can choose which vegetables they want to put in the bowl, then pour the spiced tomato juice over it, some prefer to pour the juice first, then to throw the veg. in after.
If you like it "hot & spicy ", add more vinegar, and/or use chilli oil. The garlic can be left out for those who do not enjoy it.
