Amish Gazpacho Recipe

Ingredients:

1˝ kg red tomatoes, peeled and roughly chopped

1 small onion, chopped

1 green pepper, chopped

2 - 3 cloves garlic

1 small cucumber (or half a long cucumber), chopped

1 small bread roll, soaked in water

olive oil

white wine vinegar

salt

water


Directions:
First, blend and sieve, or mill, all the vegetables into a large bowl. Then squeeze the water out of the bread roll and add to the tomato/vegetable mixture. Add two tablespoons of olive oil and a tablespoon of vinegar. Season with salt and blend well. Check the taste and add as much water as necessary depending on whether you will be drinking or eating it with a spoon. Chill thoroughly before serving. If you are using bowls, finely chop some cucumber, green pepper, tomato, and hard-boiled egg to use for the garnish. The important thing is to chill it thoroughly before serving. Some people add ice but this tends to water it down too much. In Córdoba, they make a thicker variation called Salmorejo.
