What's Cooking Wednesday - Grandma Grace’s Gazpacho

Grandma Grace’s Gazpacho 

"Years ago, when my husband’s grandparents were still with us, I made this to take to them. Both like it a lot, but from then on, Grandma Grace always requested it. Perfect for a warm day. And it gets even better the next day.” D.V. 

Ingredients: 

3 red peppers cut into chunks 

2 green peppers cut into chunks 

4 tomatoes cut into chunks 

3 onions cut into chunks 

3 cucumbers cut into chunks 

1 8oz jar green olives drained 

1 8oz jar black olives drained 

½ cup Balsamic vinegar 

1 cup red wine 

1 cup olive oil 

4 small cans V8 juice 

2 tbsp Parsley 

4 tbsp powdered garlic 

Fresh Cilantro chopped to taste 

Hot sauce to taste 

Directions: 

In a large bowl, combine peppers, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, olives, vinegar, olive oil, and V8. 

 This is where a stick blender comes in handy. If you don’t have one, use a regular blender in batches until you have a course consistency. Blend until smooth. 

Fold in parsley, garlic, cilantro, and hot sauce.
