Mediterranean Base:

In a blender or food processor, put the garlic, egg yolk, and the thick slice of bread with the crust removed.

With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil in a thin steady stream until the mixture turns into a smooth mayonnaise.

Tomato Symphony:

Add the canned whole peeled plum tomatoes, chopped ripe tomatoes, chopped onion, peeled and chopped cucumber, chopped red peppers, and tomato purée in batches.

Continue blending until the gazpacho reaches a smooth consistency.

Seasonal Harmony:

Season the Andalusian Summer Delight with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Chill the gazpacho in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Lemon Finale:

Just before serving, check the seasoning and adjust if necessary.

Serve the gazpacho cold with lemon wedges for
