Some tips to get a Gazpacho de Diez
- When it is ready, if you want your gazpacho to be smoother and have a more homogeneous texture, strain it before serving. Although the Thermomix blends it wonderfully and you can serve it as is, try both ways and choose the one that suits you best.
- If you do not want to strain it, but you want a more homogeneous texture, peel the tomatoes before including them in the recipe. To peel the tomatoes easily, it is best to blanch them for a few seconds in boiling water. Put a pot with water and bring it to a boil. As soon as it starts to boil, add the tomatoes for about 30 seconds. Take them out immediately and you will see that they peel very easily.
- It is essential to use good quality ingredients for our Gazpacho in Thermomix is ten. Buy fresh and quality vegetables, because it is a raw dish and I assure you that you will notice the difference.
- Do not overload the Thermomix mixing bowl. If there are too many ingredients and do not catch well it is preferable that you make two or three batches, but without being too full so that it can grind the ingredients well.
- Remember to serve the Gazpacho well chilled, as it will be much better.
