emil's gazpacho

perfect summer food.

ingredients:

1 cucumber, seeded and finely chopped (I leave the skin on, but your can peel if you prefer)
1 small red onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tbs. fresh herbs, like parsley, green onions, chives, and cilantro, finely chopped
1 14-16oz can diced tomatoes with juice, pulse in a blender for a finer texture if preferred
1/4 tsp. chipotle powder or ground cayenne pepper
2 tbs ketchup
1 tbs. red wine vinegar or 2 tbs. old red wine
squirt of lemon or lime juice, to taste
fresh ground black pepper & sea salt, to taste



mix all ingredients thoroughly and chill in the refrigerator overnight to let the flavors meld

garnish with yogurt or creme fraiche mixed with a pinch of cumin and coriander or fresh avocado!
