Gazpacho is a refreshing and traditional Spanish cold soup perfect for hot summer days. Made from a blend of fresh vegetables and seasonings, this dish is not only nutritious but also incredibly easy to prepare. In this recipe, we use ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumber, and vibrant red pepper, complemented by the robust flavors of garlic, cumin, and coriander.
Instructions:
- Dice the red pepper and cucumber into small, even pieces.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- In a large mixing bowl or a blender, combine the diced red pepper, tomato sauce, minced garlic, and ground cumin.
- Add the olive oil and vinegar to the bowl or blender.
- Blend the mixture until smooth. You can use an immersion blender or a regular blender for this step.
- Taste the mixture and season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Stir in the diced cucumber to the blended mixture. Optionally, you can blend it slightly if you prefer a smoother texture.
- Transfer the gazpacho to a large bowl or pitcher. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the soup to chill thoroughly.
- Once chilled, remove from the refrigerator. Give it a good stir.
- Pour the gazpacho into bowls or glasses.
- Garnish with chopped coriander leaves on top before serving.
Tips:
- Use the freshest ingredients available to ensure the best flavor and texture.
- Allow the Gazpacho to chill in the refrigerator for at least a couple of hours, or ideally overnight, to let the flavors meld together.
- Adjust seasoning to taste before serving, as chilling can dull the flavors slightly.
- For a smoother texture, strain the soup through a fine mesh sieve after blending.
- Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of extra coriander leaves on top for garnish.
And there you have it, a simple yet delicious Gazpacho that encapsulates the essence of Spanish cuisine. Whether served as a light starter or a refreshing main dish, this Gazpacho is sure to impress. Enjoy it chilled and savor the fresh, vibrant flavors of summer.
