Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg Fresh, red vine-ripened tomato (I like Romas)
  • 1 Italian green pepper (sweet and slender)
  • 1 red bell pepper - small optional
  • 1 Cucumber
  • 2 Garlic cloves
  • 1/2 Onion
  • 50 ml EVOO
  • 50 g Stale loaf bread
  • 250 ml Water
  • 5 g Salt
  • 50 ml Sherry vinegar (Vinagre de Jerez)

Equipment

  • 1 Food Processor
  • 1 Pro Microplane

Method
 

  1. Chop all the indicated ingredients in the proportion that I have set and add 50 ml of olive oil, 250 ml of water from the refrigerator and 50 ml of Sherry vinegar, crushing everything in a blender. It is not necessary to peel the tomatoes or peppers because later we will pass them through a fine sieve.
  2. Once crushed, we pass the resulting gazpacho through a fine strainer, pressing with a ladle or spatula so that it is the juice without skin or seeds and then put it in the fridge for a couple of hours to chill, and let the flavors marry.

Notes

Serve in a bowl as a soup or a glass as a smoothie.
