Gazpacho with Buz
Posted by Joy Bryant on Jun 9th 2016
There's no better Summer meal than cold Gazpacho Soup - unless it is made with Bloody's by Buz. This delicious Bloody Mary Mix is beyond an excellent Bloody Mary. We found that it is a great way to jazz up Gazpacho, Tomato Soup, and chopped meat (aka hamburgers). Here's our Recipe for Gazpacho with Buz:
3 Ripe Medium Tomatoes (1.5 pounds), cored and cut into ¼ inch cubes (about 4 cups)
2 Small Red Bell Peppers (about 1 pound), cored, seeded, and cut into ¼ inch cubes
2 Small Cucumbers (about 1 pound), one peeled and the other with skin on, both seeded and cut into ¼ inch cubes
½ Small Vidalia or Sweet Onion, peeled and minced (about ½ cup)
2 Medium Garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp Mrs. Bryant’s Sea Salt Blend
1/3 cup Virginia Vinegar Works Wine Vinegar
5 cups Bloody’s by Buz Bloody Mary Mix
1 tsp Virginia Heat Cherry Pepper-Pear Hot Sauce (optional)
8 ice cubes
Olive oil and Vodka for serving
Combine tomatoes and their juices, bell peppers, cucumbers, onion, garlic, salt and vinegar in at least a 4-quart Glass Bowl. Let stand until vegetables just being to release their juices, about 5 minutes.Stir in Bloody’s by Buz, hot sauce (if using), and ice cubes.Cover tightly and refrigerate to blend flavors (at least 4 hours).Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper (if needed).Remove and discard any unmelted ice cubes, and serve cold, drizzling each portion with about 1 tsp olive oil and add a splash of Vodka.Can be covered and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
