Gazpacho

Step 1

Marinate - Toss all the gazpacho ingredients together in a large bowl. Cover then set aside to marinate, preferably 12 to 24 hours, or at least 3 hours. (Note 3)

Step 2

Blitz - Transfer everything into a blender and blitz on high until smooth. (Or use a tall jug with a hand blender). For 100% perfectly smooth, pass through a fine mesh strainer or food mill and discard solids (Note 2)

Step 3

Serve - Pour into a bowl. Rest for 15 minutes to let the bubbles subside. Stir, then ladle into bowls.

Step 4

Garnish - Top with diced cucumber, if using, and a swish of olive oil. Serve with crusty bread!
