THE RECIPE

INGREDIENTS
1kg ripe tomatoes (plum tomatoes are good)
1 x cucumber
1 x green pepper
1 x Spanish onion
2 x gloves garlic
2 x slices of country white bread (or similar)
Vinegar (sherry vinegar works very well)
Good olive oil
Salt

PROCESS
1. Drop your piece of bread in water, so it can soak for about 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
2. Slice the tomatoes into quarters, and take out the white area just below the bit where it connects to the plant. Drop them in the food processor.
3. Slice half the cucumber into chunks, and drop in the food processor. Keep the other half for garnish.
4. Slice half the green pepper into chunks, and drop in the food processor. Keep the other half for garnish.
5. Chop the half onion into big chunks, and drop into the food processor
6. Cut the garlic cloves in half, and drop in food processor.
7. Start blending the ingredients to the consistency you want. If you want it more liquidy (to drink) add some water. If you want it chunkier, add a little more bread.
8. Once blended to your preferred consistency, add salt and vinegar to taste. Blend those ingredients in.
9. Then keep blending while you pour in the olive oil.
10. Taste it. Adjust salt and vinegar accordingly. If you want it extremely smooth, you can put it through a sieve. But I like it a little bit chunky.
11. Ideally you leave the gazpacho in the fridge for an hour or two so it cools and so the flavours blend.
12. Before serving, dice the rest of your green pepper and cucumber, and toast the other piece of bread and cut into small cubes. Serve these on top as garnish on each bowl of gazpacho. Also, pour a little more good olive oil on the gazpacho once its in the bowl - the colour is beautiful and it adds another layer to the flavour.
13. EAT!
