Barb Fredin’s Gazpacho Recipe
2 slices white bread, crusts removed
4 large ripe tomatoes, peeled
1 bell pepper
1/2 cucumber
1/2 onion
2 cloves garlic
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground cumin
3 Tbsp cider vinegar
2 cups water
Soak the bread in the water while you prepare stuff. I have a food
processor, so I put veggies, bread, and olive oil into it in batches and
dump into a large bowl, then add the rest of the water and spices to the
bowl and stir. Mix the stuff together, (all the water). Chill it for
awhile. (once I forgot to add the salt and it tasted terrible). If you
don’t have a processor or blender, just chop stuff really fine and use a
garlic press and mush up the bread. Sometimes I process some of this and
save some veggies out and just dice them and add for texture. Other things
I’ve added (but not put in the food processor) that are really good: kidney
beans or black beans and corn.
