How to Make Andalucian Gazpacho
- Combine 2 lbs ripe tomatoes, 2 spring onions (roughly chopped), 4 cloves garlic, and 1 large cucumber (roughly chopped) in a high-speed blender.
- Blend until completely smooth.
- With the blender running, slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil.
- Add 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar (or red wine vinegar). Pulse to combine.
- Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. For a bolder garlic flavor, add 1-2 extra minced garlic cloves.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. The gazpacho should be well-seasoned but not overly salty or vinegary.
- Transfer the gazpacho to a large bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or preferably overnight) to allow the flavors to meld.
- While the gazpacho chills, prepare the croutons: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add 1 cup cubed day-old bread and fry until golden brown and crispy (about 5-7 minutes), stirring occasionally.
- Remove croutons from skillet and drain on paper towels.
- To serve, ladle the chilled gazpacho into bowls.
- Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and freshly ground black pepper.
- Garnish with croutons and other desired toppings (optional: finely diced red bell pepper, cucumber, and fresh herbs). Arrange toppings in separate small bowls for guests to customize their servings.
- Enjoy your authentic Andalucian Gazpacho!
