Make: Gazpacho

Image is from HERE, I forgot to take my own.

GAZPACHO is one of my favorite recipes to make in the summer. A very refreshing meal to have for lunch or dinner, it's almost like eating salsa...but better! So, when I pulled some tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers from THIS GARDEN I immediately knew what I was going to make.


Gazpacho

Time: 20 minutes
Yields: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients:

• 1 hothouse cucumber, halved and seeded, but not peeled
• 2 red bell peppers, cored and seeded
• 4 plum tomatoes
• 1 red onion
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 23 ounces tomato juice (3 cups)
• 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup good olive oil
• 1/2 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:

1. Roughly chop the cucumbers, bell peppers, tomatoes, and red onions into 1-inch cubes. Put each vegetable separately into a food processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse until it is coarsely chopped. Do not overprocess!
2. After each vegetable is processed, combine them in a large bowl and add the garlic, tomato juice, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well and chill before serving. The longer gazpacho sits, the more the flavors develop.
