 +====Gazpacho by Jim Cambias====
 +
 +
 +//This is M.F.K. Fisher'​s "​gaspacho"​ recipe, modified to make use of 20th century technology. It makes about 1 quart of soup. Gazpacho can be a meal in itself when accompanied by bread, or serve as a first course. A summer dinner on the porch with gazpacho, grilled chicken, and some cheap //vinho verde// is a good approximation of Heaven. The addition of chopped pickle was my mother'​s idea.//
 +
 +//​Ingredients://​
 +
 +  *1 small glass olive oil
 +
 +  *Juice of 1 lemon
 +
 +  *1 large garlic clove
 +
 +  *1 generous mixed handful of chives, chervil, parsley, basil, marjoram — any or all, but fresh. I always include mint and dill. Cilantro may be a little too assertive.
 +
 +  *Salt and pepper
 +
 +  *Dash of Tabasco or a squirt of Sriracha (I prefer Tabasco with this, but it's not important)
 +
 +  *1 cucumber, peeled, cut in quarters lengthwise, with the seeds removed
 +
 +  *1 mild onion, cut lengthwise in quarters
 +
 +  *1 red or green bell pepper
 +
 +  *Half a cup of breadcrumbs
 +
 +  *2 large peeled and seeded tomatoes, cut in quarters
 +
 +  *Optional: 1 sweet or dill pickle
 +
 +
 +//​Instructions://​
 +
 +Put it all in the blender and puree. More specifically:​
 +
 +Put the oil, lemon juice, garlic, herbs, hot sauce, salt and pepper in the blender and blend about 5 seconds. Add the cucumber, onion, breadcrumbs,​ and peppers and blend some more. Then the tomatoes and pickle, blend again. Chill in the refrigerator about 1/2 hour.
