Ingredients
- 4 large tomatoes peeled and chopped
- 1/2 small yellow or red onion chopped
- 1/2 English cucumber peeled and chopped
- 1 small red pepper chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 jalapeno minced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon Tabasco Sauce
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil chopped
- 1/8 teaspoon dried marjoram
Instructions
- In a large bowl gently stir together tomatoes, onion, cucumber, red pepper, garlic, jalapeno, olive oil, salt, pepper, Tabasco Sauce, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire Sauce, cumin, cayenne, basil and marjoram.
- Run 3/4’s of the mixture through a food processor on high until finely pureed. Next combine the finely pureed mixture and the reserved chopped vegetables in an airtight container. Refrigerate and chill for 2 hours up to overnight.
Notes
- Use fresh garden sun-ripened tomatoes and cucumbers.
- If you do not have a food processor than you can use a blender.
- Everyone’s palate is different so adjust the seasoning and herbs to your taste. I know a lot of people think basil can be overwhelming. If you are one of those peeps add a little at a time and taste.
- I like my gazpacho with a little kick so I add several dashes of Tabasco Sauce. If you don’t like the heat than omit it or reduce it.
- If you prefer a smoother gazpacho than run everything through the food processor on high and then through a fine mesh strainer.
- Garnish with homemade croutons, finely chopped veggies, or fresh herbs.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
