Peppermint and basil gazpacho
by Estefanía M.

Ingredients\/strong>\/span>\/p>
50g mint
50g basil
3 eggs
100g breadcrumbs
1 courgette
1\/2 clove of garlic
200ml olive oil
3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
Salt\/p>
Preparation\/strong>\/span>\/p>
Boil some water in a casserole and while this reaches boiling point, add some water and ice to a bowl Scald the herbs for one minute in boiling water and immediately transfer them to the iced water (to maintain their flavour and colour). Drain and put aside. Use the cooking water to boil the courgette for 5 minutes, and put it aside too. Then, cook the eggs for 10 minutes after the water breaks into a boil again. Take them out, discard the water and place them under cold water for a short while so that they peel more easily later.
Soak the bread in vinegar and add a little water to soften it. Mix the herbs, eggs, breadcrumbs, courgette, half the oil, 1\/2 litre of water, salt and garlic in a blender. When everything is well mixed and blended, let it rest in the fridge for a few hours. Then add the rest of the oil, check for salt and vinegar. And that's it!
