Gazpacho

dsc_0723

Barcelona is 16 827 km from Melbourne. I want to get far away from the smell of the hospitals in my 2 weeks of annual leave in June.

Gazpacho is a Spanisn cold vegetable soup. It is based on the cold garlic soup from the southern autonomous region Andalusia consisting of bread, garlic, olive oil, sherry vinegar and salt. Add some tomatoes, capsicums, cucumbers and then chill it (very important) – you have gazpacho.

My version this time has: 
Roasted capsicums – 3
Very ripe tomatoes – 3
Garlic – 1 clove raw or 3 cloves gently cooked in some olive oil until the moment they start changing colour
Sherry vinegar – 1 table spoon
Salt and pepper
Optional parsley for garnish.

Just blend all ingredients together with enough water to get a thick consistency and chill. Alternatively, if you can’t wait on theis delicious concotion then put the vegetables in the fridge and add cold water and ice to blend.
