spicy gazpacho..., a photo by credd on Flickr.
remember yesterday that i was at cornerstone sonoma...
at the tomato tasting event.
oh yeah...
and my grapettes won the taste contest.
well...
there was also a 'cooking' exhibit...
and gazpacho was made.
since i have SO MANY tomatoes...
and the weather is in the upper 90s...
i thought i'd try out the recipe we received...
and make a batch today.

1 english cucumber, peeled & roughly chopped
1 small red onion, sliced
1 red bell pepper
1-4 jalapenos, seeded & chopped
1/2 cup red wine vinegar

1 tbsp kosher salt

ya'll know i don't follow recipes so...
i used shallots instead of red onion...
and added a lot more tabasco.
i also added a couple of dashes of worchestershire sauce.
oh...
and i also didn't use a food mill.
i did some other things too...
but...
make it your own.
enjoy!
