Gazpacho

Ingredientes

4 large ripe tomatoes (beefsteak perhaps)

2 1/2 cucumbers

10-12 scallions

2 cloves garlic

Salt

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

3 cups tomato juice

1-1 1/2 cups water (you can also use beef broth, but I don't think I'd try chicken broth)

Hot pepper sauce

Worcestershire sauce

Freshly ground pepper

Instruções

Peel, seed, and chop in 1/4 inch dice the tomatoes and 2 of the cucumbers. Wash and trim pepper and scallions and chop into 1/4 inch dice. In a mortar, mash garlic with 1 teaspoon salt. Bet in the vinegar and oil. Combine this dressing with the chopped vegetables and stir in the tomato juice. Add water or broth to the consistence you prefer.
