Hi guys. Now that the heat is getting stronger. I wanted to make known, this refreshing drink. A very nutritious and healthy drink, very easy to prepare, and I'm sure you will like it very much. It is typical here in my land Andalucia. It is called Gazpacho Andaluz.
ingredients for 4 people:
1kg ripe tomato
1 green bell pepper
1/2 onion (optional)
1 clove of garlic (you can use 2 if you like it strong)
1/2 cucumber
1/2 red bell pepper (optional)
50g of bread (if you let it dry for a couple of days it is better)
25ml vinegar
45ml oil
250ml water
Salt to taste
Easy traditional andalusian gazpacho recipe
Although this is the traditional gazpacho recipe, many people do not use onion or red bell pepper, because they do not like it. We like it better with them, but maybe you like it softer, so we recommend you to try them.
Wash the tomatoes, the 2 peppers and the cucumber.
Cut and chop all the ingredients. It is not necessary to cut them too small, as the blender or food processor you use will surely have enough power. Just peel the onion and garlic clove, tomatoes and peppers is not necessary because at the end we will strain the gazpacho.
Add the chopped ingredients, vinegar, oil and water in the glass.
Blend for 5 minutes at maximum speed. It is important that you blend all the ingredients well so that it has a smooth liquid texture, otherwise there will be lumps.
Taste if it is to your liking and add salt, oil or vinegar if necessary. The first few times you prepare it, it will be a little difficult to find the right point to the gazpacho, so it is better to try it and correct it while blending it.
Strain the gazpacho very well with a fine strainer. In this way, we will remove the skins and possible lumps that may have remained after blending.
Leave in the refrigerator for 1 hour to cool.
Enjoy a refreshing, delicious and nutritious Andalusian gazpacho.
