I did it!
I made my first-ever batch of gazpacho last night, and guess what? IT’S AWESOME!!! I love it! I didn’t think I would, actually. Even Alexis loves it, and I REALLY didn’t think she would. I took two recipes and sort of combined them to make my own version. Here’s what I did:
4 cups of V8 juice
2 cloves of garlic
1/2 large onion
1/2 bell pepper, deseeded
1 cucumber, deseeded
1/2 baguette, crusts removed and cubed
1/4 tsp comino
1 tsp salt
1/3 cup olive oil
2 TB red wine vinegar
juice of one lime
black pepper and Tabasco to taste
Garnishes:
1 cucumber, chopped
1/2 large onion, chopped
1/2 bell pepper, chopped
1/2 baguette, cubed (or croutons)
2 hard boiled eggs, chopped
1 large tomato, chopped
Toss all the ingredients (except the garnishes) into a food processor and blend until smooth. Place in a container in the fridge to chill for a few hours. Top with the garnishes and eat with zesty relish!
BTW, if you eat two large bowls of this, you WILL get a bellyache! It seemed like a good idea at the time because it tasted SO good, but….ergh…all those bread crumbs must have expanded in my belly.
