And what if during the nice days, we played shellfish and gazpacho?
How to make an original gazpacho?
The ingredients of classic gazpacho
To prepare this Spanish soup, made with blended raw vegetables, nothing complicated. You need sun-reddened tomatoes, peppers, cucumber, spring onions, garlic, and toasted bread, which you cut into pieces. Put them in a salad bowl, add olive oil, sherry vinegar, cayenne pepper and pepper, and let it macerate overnight. Finish by blending, and thinning with water until you get the right consistency. You can also strain it if you prefer ultra-smooth soups. That’s for the base.
How to upgrade your gazpacho recipe like a chef?
We take advantage of summer to transform our gazpacho into a seasonal delight. Watermelon, melon, cucumber, peaches, zucchini, tomatoes of different varieties, cherries, strawberries, various peppers, everything is possible. As for seasoning, don’t forget to add a dash of vinegar to your preparation to give it a boost! As for seasoning, we think of chili pepper, Tabasco, smoked paprika, different citrus fruits, and typical peppers, to give maximum intensity to this cold soup.
The perfect service
For the service, different options are possible. You can choose to serve your gazpacho in a large salad bowl, ideal when there are many people around a large summer table, serve it on a plate in the classic way, or pour it into small individual bottles, to drink with a straw, in a buffet version. Be careful, for this last option, you will be careful to filter your gazpacho to avoid small pieces that can block the straws.
For inspiration, here are different original gazpacho recipes to try throughout the summer season.
