I moved with my family to Madrid back in 1960. to 1963. We had a cook by the name of Encarna that made the best gazspacho I’ve ever had. I make it all the time but love to find different versions…..Encarnas’ rules though, true Andalucian……..tapas forever!

I LOVE gazpacho AND Zaytinya, for that matter!

In Sevilla, I had a gazpacho that was very creamy and was served with smoked salmon. So delicious!

Hi Nate, Good question! Seconds, might be term they only use at our market. Second tomatoes are the ones that get banged up, or are a little funky. You just cut out the bad part and you are good to go. Since you are just going to blend them all anyhow, it doesn’t matter too much how good they look. At $.69 a pound, they are tough to beat!

Thanks for the book recommendation. I’ll have to check it out at the library.

I’ve been patiently waiting for our tomatoes to ripen so we can make some more gazpacho. But they’re taking SO LONG! I may have to resort to buying them at the farmer’s market…

What are “second tomatoes”?

Hi Trish, Thanks for stopping by! Gazpacho is a great starter Spanish food. It is really tough to make a bad batch. Jose Andres has a great Tapas book. Not all of the recipes are easy, but they are all great.

This looks great for a hot summer day when the apetite is leaning toward something light and cool. I found you on “FoodGawker” and am adding you to my bloglines line up. I am also going to look for a “beginners” book on Tapas. I think that sounds like a great solution for summer suppers – especially after working all day.

I love the freshness from the cucumbers as a garnish! Stick with what you like! :)

This is the only time of year that I make gazpacho with tomatoes. Using winter tomatoes is not the same. I always garnish with some chopped cucumber, peppers and tomato, too.
