Beet Gazpacho Recipes

BEET GAZPACHO RECIPE

Steps:

• Wash the beets and bring them to a boil in a pot with enough water to cover them. Cook them for about 40 minutes or until they are soft (you can put a knife inside without using force)
• Let them cool for 1 hour in the refrigerator, or put them in a bowl with cold water and ice to make this process faster. Once cool, peel them and cut them into cubes. You can also cut them into cubes before boiling, this will save you some cooking time.
• While your beet is cooling, grab the other listed vegetables, wash and chop. You don't need to peel them as the processor will take care of that.
• Once all the ingredients are ready, put the vegetables, bread, oil, vinegar, and seasonings in the blender or processor, and blend for about 5 minutes until it reaches the desired consistency.
• Put your beet gazpacho in a bowl and put it in the fridge for at least 1 hour, if you don't have that much time you can put it in the freezer for 30 minutes or eat it at room temperature.
