Simple raw food recipes: Spanish Gazpacho
I was first introduced to Gazpacho in Cordoba, Spain. Summer in Andalucia can be sweltering, and especially in landlocked cities like Cordoba and Sevilla. So, of course, in 115 deg Fahrenheit the last thing anyone feels like is a hot stew! A tasty chilled soup is the perfect solution. If you haven't tried it before, you really have been missing out on the perfect summer dish!
Ingredients:
4 chopped tomatoes, a good sprinkling of olive oil, 1 peeled garlic
clove (I have seen as many as 6 used, but err on the side of caution at first), 1 large chopped cucumber with the skin, 2 pinches of salt, pepper, 1/2 table spoon vinegar and water.
Garnishes:
Green red or white
onion, diced cucumber, orange green or red pepper, cherry halves, cilantro (or coriander leaves)
(Additional ingredient options: Red wine or apple cider instead of vinegar, the juice of one small lime, 1 small sliced green onion, 1 small sliced pepper maybe jalapeno but not too hot, cumin and coriander. These are all used in various Gazpacho recipes so there's no reason why you can't experiment and get a little creative with these any of these ingredients to find your perfect taste.)
Preparation:
- Put the ingredients in your blender or food processor and add only a little water until your desired consistency is reached.
- Once finished allow it to sit in the fridge for a few hours until chilled.
- Sprinkle garnishes on top after serving. (Another tasty idea is to serve the gazpacho in avocado halves).
How simple is that! And most of the ingredients can be found quite easily.
The added advantages of nutrition value and illness fighting properties makes these simple raw food recipes a no-brainer.
