Gazpacho!

Ingredients

  • 2 tins Zia Rosa San Marzano D.O.P. peeled tomatoes which we prefer for their flavour. Use fresh tomatoes if you prefer.

  • 1 medium sized cucumber, peeled, seeded and roughly chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper (capsicum), seeded and roughly chopped
  • 2 slices of white bread, crusts removed
  • 1/2 small red onion, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 3 tbsp Morella Grove Extra Virgin Olive Oil

  • 2 tbsp EuroPantry Saba Vin Cotto (or Mosto Cotto - Cooked Grape Juice – red vinegar)

  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin

  • Olsson’s Sea Salt to taste

  • Pepper to taste

  • Optional garnishes: diced cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, croutons, and a drizzle of olive oil

Directions

  1. In a blender or food processor, combine the tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, slices of bread, red onion and garlic.

  2. Add olive oil, cooked grape juice (red wine vinegar), ground cumin, sea salt, and black pepper to the blender.

  3. Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy which should take about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or vinegar if needed.
  5. If the gazpacho is too thick, you can thin it out with a little water until you reach your desired consistency.

  6. Transfer your gazpacho to a large bowl or pitcher and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill and allow the flavours to meld.

  7. Serve the gazpacho chilled, garnished with diced cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, croutons, and a drizzle of olive oil, if desired.
