Description
20 years ago, living in Ukraine, I saw the movie "Woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown"with Carmen Maura in the lead role. Its essence: the beloved woman leaves and she decides to leave the life, takes the box of sleeping pills and pours it into the jug with the red liquid. The phone rings, she starts to sort things out, but this time it comes to different people: friend, neighbor, police. Seeing the pitcher, all joyfully exclaim: "Oh! Gazpacho!", drink a glass and go to sleep. I liked the movie, but even more I was interested the red liquid in the jar. Already in Spain a friend in conversation he mentioned that he was preparing a delicious gazpacho. "That's what I need!" I thought, and married him. Gazpacho he made good, but only at first, then rights to manufacture was handed over to me on the basis that I do it better...

Cooking
There is a lot of information on gazpacho, so I'll explain how I'm doing and why, especially since there is no reason not to trust my husband. So, before I take all the vegetables was crushed them in a mixer and leave for the night. Cleanse cucumber only, to avoid bitterness. During the night all the taste goes into the solution.
The next day I strain the mixture to separate the pieces of peel tomatoes and peppers. Soak stale bread in water, squeeze lightly and again was milled all together, add vinegar, salt, a little sugar and again leave in the fridge. Water should be added if gazpacho is served as a beverage, if this is the first dish left thick and served with a side dish (vegetables or bread, cut into small cubes).
Olive oil I add when served gazpacho to the table, otherwise it will harden in the fridge and will give the dish so unattractive. Similarly affected and ice cubes. It is better to add water and chill in the refrigerator all together.
Gazpacho can be done for a few days, it kept well, and the taste is even better. On hot summer days I serve it to the table as a cooling beverage.
