Adding Garlic & Onions to Gazpacho

"My name is Brandon Sarkis on behalf of Expert Village. Today, I'll be making a quick and easy traditional Spanish Gazpacho. Alright so now that we've mixed the two liquids together, the oil and the vinegar, we'll go ahead and throw the cumin in there. It's one tablespoon of cumin. Put the hand mixer right on top of it and just go. There's that. The next thing we're going to want to do is we're going to add our garlic in. And the reason you want to puree these one at a time is because if throw it all in there and just kind of puree it all at once, you'll end up missing pieces. Because what will happen is the tomato and garlic puree at different rates and so you might end up pureeing all the garlic down, all the tomato down and leaving pieces of garlic or vice versa. OK you see that. Now the fun part. All of the onion. This is also one of those parts where you'll wish you were wearing goggles because of the onions. Now the same thing is going to apply here. We're going to put the towel on top. Just to keep from getting a huge mess. And so what we're doing now, since we did the tomato first and the tomato is nice and runny, it makes it a lot easier to puree this onion. Because we already have a liquid base that we'll be dealing with. As opposed to if we just had a bunch of solid stuff and doing it at once and you can do it that way in a food processor or in a blender, if you're just going for a really pureed out version. And you can hear it doing all the work it needs to be doing here. Now see what's happened is the onion has really thickened things up, so now we need to add our water in. So we'll start with just two tablespoons. It might be enough and it might not be. We'll see. A lot of that depends on your tomatoes. Another thing is if you were to add your vinegar or your oil and your water all at the same time, none of them would emulsify properly and it'd be. It wouldn't work out nearly as well as it should have. Alright so it's coming along pretty well. We'll go ahead and throw some more water in there and we'll move on to our next step."
