I created this to satisfy my cravings for each ingredient in the various gazpacho recipes I've tried over the years. I usually put two avocados in, but I admit to being a avo-holic. 2 hour cook time is for chilling.
Ingredients:
5 large tomatoes, peeled and chopped (tomatoes will peel easier if you add them to boiling water for 1 minute, remove, cool and peel.)
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1 cup beef broth
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
1 garlic clove, minced
1 (12 ounce) can tomato juice, v 8 is best
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced
4 teaspoons cilantro, finely chopped and more for garnish
1/4 cup olive oil
2 celery ribs, minced
1 avocado, diced
coarsely ground salt & pepper
1/2 cup chopped green peppers (optional) or 1/2 cup red pepper (optional)
sour cream (optional)
tabasco sauce (optional)
Directions:
1. PARTLY puree all ingredients except sour cream and 3/4 of avocado.
2. Chill for at least 2 hours.
3. Garnish servings with remaining avocado dice.
4. May also be served with sour cream and a sprig of cilantro.
