Gazpacho - the Real Stuff

Recipe By :

Tried & True

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
46 ounces tomato juice -- (large can)
1 medium onion -- chopped
2 large tomatoes -- peeled and chopped
1 green pepper -- chopped
1 cucumber -- peeled, seeded, and chopped
2 scallions -- schopped
1 clove garlic -- crushed
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves -- chopped
2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice -- (use fresh, reconstituted just doesn't cut it)
2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 1/2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
dash Tabasco sauce

Combine all ingredients in large non-metallic container; stir well. Process in batches in an electric blender until somewhat smooth (don't puree, but retain some texture). Chill at least 2 hours.

Note: It is certainly possible to make this if you don't have all the ingredients on hand. It is excellent even without the tarragon and basil. Experiment and perfect it to your taste.

Hi Deanna,
So far, so good...

Thanks so much for the recipe. It looks delightful. I made sure to copy it right away just in case something happens to this thread!

Thanks Deanna. I was hoping this recipe would get through. My husband and I both like gazpacho, but have only made it a couple of times. I can't remember what recipe we used or even where to begin looking. So many are little more than tomato juice with a little stuff flaoting in it, but this sounds like the real stuff. I'm looking forward to trying it, even if I have to buy tomatoes (our are all pooped out and waiting for a second crop after it cools down a bit...in September, maybe). Thanks again

Mmmm... thank you. I have never attempted gazpacho, and this recipe looks like the perfect inspiration. And lovely for a warm, muggy day!!
