Gazpacho

Total time 10 minutes · Makes 1 l

Gazpacho is a summer favorite here at El gran sueño. It makes a refreshing and healthy pre-starter, starter or just a little something to keep you going on a hot (or not so hot) summer's day.

    Ingredientes
    • 1kg fresh, ripe tomatoes
    • half a green pepper (about 70g, seeds and white removed)
    • about 70g of cucumber, semi pealed
    • 100g good quality extra virgin olive oil
    • 25g sherry vinegar
    • 1 tsp unrefined sea salt
    1. Wash all your vegetables well and chop into pieces.
    2. Put everything, except the oil and vinegar into a good quality blender and blitz until fine and smooth. We usually blend for about 4 minutes on full speed.
    3. Add the oil, vinegar and salt and blend well again. Not full speed this time, but make sure it is well blended.
    4. Strain the gazpacho through a chinois or simular fine mesh strainer to remove any pips.
    5. Put about 100ml of water into the blender and blitz to clean the blender, poor this through the chinois to clean that too.
    6. Mix well and put into bottles in the fridge. 
    7. Leave for 2-3 hours to cool.
    8. Keeps int he fridge for 2-3 days.
