Cut the tomatoes into pieces and slice the cucumber, red pepper, and red onion. Place them in a large bowl and add the bread, vinegar, tomato juice, and strawberries. Season with freshly ground black pepper, sea salt, and olive oil. Add a few small mint leaves, ice cubes, and mix well. If you want to intensify the flavors, let it marinate for up to 6 hours (in this case, do not add ice right away).
In a blender, mix all the ingredients well. Break the burrata into small pieces and season with salt, pepper, and olive oil. Serve the gazpacho with small pieces of burrata and fried and crushed country bread. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper, and a few small mint leaves. Serve immediately.
Enjoy your meal or rather boa degustação! A huge THANK YOU to Dona Bica for sharing this recipe with us!
