AUTHENTIC GAZPACHO RECIPE

Steps:

• Wash and dry all of the vegetables very well-if you prefer to peel the tomatoes you can, although I usually leave the skin on.
• Cut the tomatoes into 4 slices (leaving the core behind) and put into your blender.
• Halve, core, and de-seed the pepper. Cut it into a few slices and add to the blender.
• Peel the garlic and slice it in half. Remove the core (which often results in bitterness when not cooked).
• Cut the onion into a few slices and add it to the blender too.
• Peel the cucumber and cut it in half. Add half to the blender and save the other half for a topping.
• Blend the vegetables at a high speed until it is completely pureed.
• Add the salt and vinegar and, while blending on a slow speed, slowly add the olive oil.
• Taste and adjust salt and vinegar. If the texture is too thick for your liking add some cold water.
• Refrigerate and serve VERY cold! Add as many (or as few) toppings as you like.

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Prepare an ice bath. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, cut a small "X" in the bottom of each tomato, this will help to loosen the skin while blanching. When the water boils , turn off heat, and submerge the tomatoes in the water, about 1 minute.
• With a slotted spoon, transfer the tomatoes to the ice bath.
• Once cool to the touch, remove the tomato skins, starting at the "X" for easy peeling. Discard skins.

• Add the vinegar and pulse until it is completely incorporated.
• Some people prefer their gazpacho slightly chunky-it's a matter of personal taste. For a smoother texture, strain the gazpacho and discard the solids.
• Drizzle the oil into the blender with the motor running until completely incorporated.
• Pour the mixture into a large non-metallic bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and more vinegar, if desired. Mix well, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
