Not Portuguese but worth a mention..

Gazpacho - all you need is a blender. Into your blender add:

1 mug cold water
1lb ripe tomatoes - you can peel and seed them if you want but I don't bother
4" cucumber, peeled
Half a green pepper, chopped (optional - I find they give me wind)
Quarter small onion
1 clove of garlic
Tablespoon each of wine vinegar and olive oil
Scant handful fresh herbs - coriander is good.
Salt and pepper

Blitz until nearly smooth. Chill for 2 hours and serve with an ice cube or two floating on top.

Can there be a nicer, easier or healthier lunch on a hot summer's day?
