The key to study better, is to cook a good gazpacho

23-06-2017

If air conditioning is not enough to combat this heat wave, and you cannot concentrate for the imminent final exams, we propose to make a good and tasty gazpacho.

Although the title is strange, we have already told you on other occasions that food is intimately linked to concentration and performance, in any type of activity, whether physical or mental. With your exams just around the corner and with this wave of heat that makes your concentration to study in Barcelona, ​​shine by its absence, we propose a tipical spanish recipe that will help you make these weeks more bearable.

In the kitchen of your student residence in Barcelona, ​​you have everything you need to prepare the best recipe of Andalusian gazpacho. Although we have been a little cheeky, saying that is the best, because there are so many recipes for this dish, that each has its own opinion. What never changes, are the ingredients of the gazpacho, which are always the same, the difference is in the amount that you decide to put of each one of them.

Ingredients:
3 kilos of ripe tomatoes
1 green pepper
1 red pepper
Medium cucumber
Medium garlic
A little bread
White wine vinegar
Salt
Oil

We propose to make a soft gazpacho, birn mashed and always passed by a Chinese (a Chinese is a kitchen item that serves to grit vegetables) is the best option so that it has a liquid texture, and it is possible drink in a cool glass with a couple of ice.

Its elaboration is very simple and it is best that you do it in your pauses of study; Cooking relaxes and clears your mind.

Wash the tomatoes well. You can peel them but if you crunch them all in a blender and then you go through the Chinese or passport, it is not necessary to peel them. If you do not have a Chinese or a passport, it is better than the skins.
Half a cucumber and mash it with the tomatoes, with the green and red pepper, the garlic and the slice of bread
When you get the texture you want, you should add a dash of olive oil and white wine vinegar, try it and add salt to taste.

 You have it ready! Put it in the fridge to cool down and enjoy it in your next study break in

Barcelona when, as now, the heat is unbearable.

Good luck in your exams!

    With the arrival of April, a super special season begins and that in addition to being full of colors and aromas, marks the beginning of good weather.

    In addition to gradually enjoying a warmer climate, the days are also getting longer, and personally we love it, since the day lasts much longer if at the end of classes or work, you still have a few moments of sun. Some people prefer wintertime, but we are fans of summertime and its long sunny days.
