Spanish mumsnetters: Gaspacho recipe PLEASE

[expatkat]

I noticed yet again, when visiting SIL in Madrid, that Spanish gaspacho, i.e the REAL THING tastes completely different from gaspacho made elsewhere. I was at a buffet with a huge vat of the best gaspacho I've had in all my life, and I literally refilled my bowl 8 or 9 times.

What is the secret recipe? (Also I'd love a good recipe for sangria.)

hi expatkat
here's my recipe
4 large ripped tomatoes (peeled)
1/2 cucumber
1/4 onion
1/2 green pepper
1/2 red pepper
garlic
salt
olive oil
vinegar
oregano
my sangria
1 l. of red wine
the juice of an orange
2 tb spoons of sugar
1/2 l. of lemonade
1/4 glass of brandy
chopped apple,peach and orange
salud!!

I was hoping you'd come through whymummy--thanks so much. I see you don't put bread in your gazpacho (sorry for previous misspelling). I'm going to make it tonight. (Maybe the sangria too!) K

let me know how it goes

I had to read that several times- I was agog at the amount of liquid in it, and only started to get suspicious when I got to the lemonade
