Reviews
I never used vinegar in my recipe but this is the first time I’ve seen bread crumbs, because I’ve always used slightly stale baguettes. I like to crush the crumbs in the processor and when adding all the ingredients it should be a pudding consistency. As proportions, I just add to taste. Homemade is best but you can substitute V8 for the tomato juice. Should include some frest cilantro – but not too much.
There are two recipes on the food network called Gazpacho Andaluz. My review is of the recipe submitted by Joaquin Ramirez of the HotelMonasterio San Miguel. There must be a couple of directions missing and I don’t think the proportions are right. It calls for too much vinegar; I think the water should have been squeezed from the bread crumbs; I didn’t know if the bread crumb amount was to be 16 ounces by weight or measuring cup. Try the other Gazpacho Andaluz instead.
