Do you like gazpacho? Did you know that there are many different varieties of gazpacho? Is there a regional food where you come from that people feel strongly about?
In today's episode, we'll learn about gazpacho: its history, its ingredients, and how to make it. People are passionate about their version of gazpacho - I wondered why?
Here is the recipe I use from my friend Nadine:
Ingredients:
2-3 slices of white bread or baguette, torn into pieces
1 pound of tomatoes: seeded and diced
1 cucumber: seeded, peeled and chopped into large chunks
1 green pepper: seeded and chopped
3-4 cloves of garlic, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup of good olive oil
a pinch of salt
2-3 tablespoons of good sherry vinegar
Soak the bread in water for a few minutes. Remove from the water and gently squeeze the water out. Put bread and all the other ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Chill for one hour or serve right away.
Here is a link to Chef Jose Andres and his recipe for gazpacho. He is very passionate about it!
