Gazpacho with Ramiro Peppers
2 servings
30 minutes
Gazpacho with Ramiro peppers is an exquisite version of the classic Spanish cold soup. Gazpacho originated in Andalusia as a simple peasant dish but gained popularity worldwide over time. In this recipe, the tender sweetness of Ramiro pepper harmonizes with the tartness of canned tomatoes, the freshness of cucumber, and a hint of chili heat. White wine vinegar adds a light acidity while basil refreshes the aroma. The dish has a velvety texture, and pieces of fresh Ramiro pepper add a crunchy note. This gazpacho is perfect as a summer appetizer or light dinner, and serving it with rustic bread makes it especially hearty. Olive oil completes the composition, giving the soup a noble taste of Mediterranean cuisine.
