Andalusian Gazpacho
June 29, 2026 12:25 PM - RowerChick
Scott can't stop raving about this soup, so I figured I'd post the recipe:

1kg tomatoes, 1 bell pepper (red), 1 cucumber, 1 red onion, 50g bread, 50ml EVOO, 200 ml Water, 30 ml sherry vinegar, 5 g salt I know I got the recipe online, but I can't find it now. I'm sure the actual recipe said to peel the veggies and put the mixture thru a sieve-but that's not how I roll. I use an immersion blender.
It should be chilled for about 1 hour. I added more olive oil, because the bottle was close to empty.

Most recipes call for a garlic clove, but this one didn't.

I tried to find the original recipe online, but I couldn't. Most of the recipes call for green peppers-but I prefer red.

Of course, the gazpacho possibilities are endless, but this is the classic from AndalucĂ­a. I never added bread before moving to Spain.


On the Pizza front

I haven't tried making pizza here yet. But I find the best crust recipes I've tried, have been the simplest to make.
For the last few times I made pizza, I used https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/homemade-pizza-crust-recipe/
Sally has some great recipes for all baked items-savory and sweet.

I used this recipe for the pizza making party we had in Houston. It was a lot of prep work, but everyone had a great time. I miss having a big kitchen, big oven and stovetop but we can't host that many people like we did in Houston and NY anyway.

I can't even find a picture of any pizza that I've made in the past, but this is a picture I took of a couple focaccias I made
