Ingredients

80ml Olive Oil

15g Basil leaves

400g tin Plum Tomatoes

1 Red Pepper, deseeded and chopped

½ small Red Onion, chopped

½ Cucumber, deseeded and chopped

1 thick slice Soft White Bread, torn

2 cloves Garlic, crushed

1 tbsp Red Wine Vinegar

Splash Tabasco (optional)

¼ tsp Sugar

Ice Cubes, to serve (optional)

Fresh Basil leaves, to garnish

Crusty White Bread, to serve

Method

For the basil oil, whizz together the oil and basil leaves in a blender or food processor to make a green purée. Set aside.

Put the plum tomatoes and their juices in a blender or food processor. Fill the empty tin half full of water, swirling to pick up any leftover juice, and add this as well. Throw in the red pepper, red onion, cucumber, bread and garlic. Whizz until smooth, passing through a sieve, if you like. Season to taste with the red wine vinegar, Tabasco (if using), sugar, and some black pepper.

Divide the gazpacho between bowls (adding ice cubes if you like) and drizzle with the basil oil, scattering over a few basil leaves. Serve with wedges of crusty bread.
