Tomato gazpacho ingredients
This tomato gazpacho uses just a handful fresh ingredients – tomatoes, red pepper, olive oil, red wine vinegar, milk, salt, pepper, cumin, garlic and cashew butter – that meld together beautifully for an easy recipe that’s full of flavour and versatile. Here’s what you’ll need:
Tomatoes: Choose the ripest tomatoes you can find, preferably vine-ripened. Tomatoes can make or break a gazpacho, so go for organic if possible.
Red pepper: Use a large red pepper from a jar. Look for jarred peppers in olive oil.
Extra-virgin olive oil: Use a good quality extra virgin olive oil such as Erbology. Use the code charlotte15 for 15% off your order.
Red wine vinegar: This adds flavour, you can use apple cider vinegar if you prefer but reduce to 1½ teaspoons.
Cashew milk: I use cashew milk for this recipe for its creaminess. You can use another milk of your choice if you prefer.
Seasonings: Salt, pepper, cumin and garlic add depth of flavour to this gazpacho.
Cashew butter: Use a smooth, roasted cashew butter and make sure it’s well-stirred. The recipe won’t work so well with the drier cashew butter at the bottom of the jar.
How to make tomato gazpacho
You can make this tomato gazpacho in just three very simple steps:
- Blend: Place the tomatoes, pepper, olive oil, vinegar, milk, salt, pepper, cumin, garlic and cashew butter in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Add extra milk to thin if you prefer a thinner gazpacho.
- Chill: Then place in the fridge for at least two hours, or overnight if you have the time.
- Serve: When it’s ready, divide the gazpacho between serving bowls and top with sliced tomato, diced cucumber, a sprinkling of cracked black pepper, spring onions and toasted almonds. SO GOOD!
That’s it! A delicious, flavour-packed gazpacho soup with the minimum of fuss and it looks impressive. Perfect to serve as a started for a summer bbq.
