Gazpacho
It has been HOT, HOT, HOT on the island these past few days — and my Mother-in-Law whipped up some Gazpacho as a starter. She is a great cook and makes just about everything improv — So I have the list of ingredients that she used, just not the quantities. But there are tons of versions and recipes of Gazpacho to be found. Use your imagination.
Gazpacho is also known to wake up the appetite. More on Gazpacho >>
Ingredients:
Vegetable Broth
Fresh Tomatoes
Red Bell pepper
Green Bell pepper
Garlic
Cucumber
Directions:
Whiz the vegetables in a food processor.
Place the whizzed vegetables and broth in a pan. Bring to a boil and then simmer for about 10 minutes. Pour the mixture into a heat-proof bowl and place in fridge for a couple of hours to chill. Serve cold, in bowls with left over grated cucumber and peppers as garnish. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Tip: If you feel likie wowing your guests, place some fresh parley in ice cube trays, add water and freeze. Serve the soup with the “Parsley ice cubes”. If you don’t have time for the ice cubes, you can also add a splash of sparkling water to the soup bowls just before serving.
