Raw food recipe- Gazpacho
Gazpacho is something that I used to prepare even when I was not eating raw or even vegan.
You can serve this delicious soup cold on a hot, humid day and what is even better, it keeps in the fridge for days, that is if there will be any left! With fresh, wine ripened tomatoes in season, this is the perfect time to dive in and just savour the complex tastes this very simple summer dish can offer.
Basic gazpacho recipe
Ingrediens: tomato, cucumber, zucchini, parsley, coriander (or cilantro), lemon jucie, red or yellow peppers
Optional: red onion, basil, olive oil, salt, pepper, celeri, red onion
- First step is to create a liquid, soup consistency part of the dish by blending: tomatoes, cucumbers, celeri, peppers and some lemon or lime juice in a high powered blender
- Next you pulse chop more cucumbers, zucchini, parsley, red or orange pepper, red onion, cilantro, basil (optional) in the food processor. When all ingredients are chopped fine but not overprocessed, you can now mix this with your "soup" base
- Add more salt, lemon or lime juice to taste and can drizzle with some olive oil as well.
- You can add some hot sauce when you serve, this will give a nice kick to your gazpacho
This is it! No need to measure, weigh and portion out your ingredients. Like in any raw food recipe, the taste will never be exactly the same, so experiment and don't forget to share this amazing summer meal with your friends and family.
To your rawesome health!
