SIZZLING HOT SUMMERS DAY......AND A WELL CHILLED GAZPACHO

1. Kg of really ripe tomatoes skinned  ( drop tomatoes into a pot of boiling water till the skins burst , remove from heat and transfer tomatoes to cold water ...the skins will now slip off easily..)

If you prefer use tins of diced tomatoes....

Slice fresh tomatoes along with 1 large red onion, 2 fat garlic cloves  and 2 slices of bread  (crusts removed ).

Add 4 tbs white wine vinegar , 5 tbs of olive oil and 300ml of chicken stock  ( commercial stock ok )

Blend or process till the mixture is well blended.

Pour the mixture into a bowl, then stir in 50 gm of finely sliced and diced green capsicum , the juice of  1/2 a lemon and season with freshly ground black pepper.....

Put the bowl in the fridge commencing chilling for at least 6 hours  before you go to work .

Ladel into serving bowls and garnish with diced cucumber  and bread croutons , or simply crumble a dry cracker lightly over the top.

Enjoy
