• Components cut very, very finely, and then whisk them for a long time with a fork.

The method of processing vegetables can be chosen any. The main thing is that the dish as a result becomes homogeneous in consistency.

It is necessary to cut three large cloves of garlic very finely and put in a mortar, mix it with half a spoonful of medium-sized salt and crush it thoroughly. Gradually start to report dried bread slices (just two pieces) in a small piece, and continue to mix it with garlic and 100 grams of olive oil. Should be a homogeneous mixture, but not thick, but similar to liquid kefir.

In the event that it is not possible to use the mortar, then the bread is soaked in a small amount of mineral water. Beat all together with a blender.

To tomato soup "Gaspacho" became such, it is necessary to use only ripe, fleshy and juicy tomatoes. Six pieces lower in boiling water for about thirty seconds, then get a noisy and carefully peel off. In order to do this, it is recommended to make an incision near the stem, remove it and begin to clean it from the top. Next, cut the tomatoes into small slices and grind them separately in a blender.

Peel two medium cucumbers and cut into thick mugs. A large red bell pepper must be peeled and also chopped. Grind and pour into tomatoes.

Now you need to make a mash to make the soup "Gaspacho" become homogeneous. To do this, it is very good to beat a small onion, add to it a bread-and-garlic mixture and all the vegetables. Stir is recommended for a long time and leave for half an hour, so that the first dish is insisted.

Next, try the resulting dish, salt to the desired state and add a little vinegar. But it is recommended to use only apple or wine. If they are not, then pour in the juice of one lemon.
