Gazpacho with seasonal peaches
6 servings
45 minutes
For hot days on the veranda of the Kuznya House restaurant, Ruslan Zakirov prepared a gazpacho of the ideal velvety texture, where ripe tomatoes compete in sweetness with seasonal peaches. The play with shades of taste is continued by a drop of sherry vinegar, which adds a neat sourness to the fruit and vegetable cold soup.
