Cut the tomatoes into large chunks Tomatoes are sensitive fruit. Be gentle!

Peel the cucumber and cut into large pieces. Remove the seeds and white membranes from inside the green pepper, and chop into large pieces. Peel the onion and cut a quarter of it.

Put all vegetables (tomatoes, cucumber, green pepper, onion and garlic),  in a large bowl and mix with the extra virgin olive oil, vinegar, water, salt and cumin. Blend with the mixer until totally smooth.

Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a large bowl. Chill the gazpacho in the fridge for several hours until cold. Serve in large bowls, garnished with finely diced cucumber, green pepper and/or bread.
