Gazpacho
Recipe video above. If the thought of this chilled Spanish soup conjures up visions of watery, bland, pureed vegetables, think again! Fabulous refreshing and full of flavour. Marinating isn't traditional but does improve flavour. So it's recommended, especially if you use economical vinegar or if your tomatoes aren't farm-fresh-ripe-and-sweet (ie typical tomatoes from everyday grocery stores....)This version has no bread in it - it's thick enough as is, I find. Serve with crusty bread on the side, for dunking. Fabulous meal for a hot summer day!Serves 3 hearty appetites, 4 normal appetites (with bread for dunking).
