Gazpacho for the girls
Little seems more summery than a bowl of gazpacho…..not that I particularly like the cold soup whizzed up from a combination of tomatoes, peppers, cucumber and assorted summer herbs, but Michel does and the smell of it always reminds me that we’re in the height of summer.
As we have a glut of cucumber and plenty of fat ripe tomatoes, I decided to treat the girls to a canine gazpacho today. So into the blender went cucumber, tomatoes, red pepper and carrot joined by leaves of basil and parsley. After a quick blast, I poured the thick cold mix into their bowls, stirred in a generous helping of chopped raw chicken & finely diced chicken liver, added a spoon of goats yoghurt to each bowl and served. Voila, doggie version of gazpacho was a resounding success, they all came back for more. Healthy, refreshing, low fat and a dish redolent of summer and we have three happy schnauzers enjoying their holiday.
