Summer's really taking it's toll. It's sweltering hot here in Mumbai and I had to take a break from the routine cooking in front of the stove and try something refreshing and light. While searching for something like that, I came across a recipe of the Gazpacho in one of my dailies. I made it with a few alterations and served it with Chicken and Cheese Toasts to make my perfect meal for a hot summer day.
To mention a bit about the Gazpacho. It is a tomato based vegetable soup that originated in Spain and is now a favorite world over. It is served chilled especially during the summer months and makes a great starter to any meal. If thinned a bit, it can be served as a refreshing drink as well.
The traditional Gazpacho requires no cooking and is made using raw vegetables. But I made a few changes to the recipe to suit my palate. I roasted the veggies for a little cooked flavor and sprinkled my favorite herbs for seasoning. Here's the recipe for you to try.
