It's simple.

With just one click, all these ingredients will be put into a basket on mySupermarket.co.uk.

You can select the products you need, compare prices and choose the retailer you wish to buy them from. Or you can leave them in your basket and come back later to buy items from other recipes.

One thing is for sure though, you are guaranteed to find the best value.

Method

1. Combine the tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, peppers, garlic, ciabatta, passata, chilli, olive oil, sherry vinegar and allow the flavours to marinate together for 12 hours.

2. Take the crab and crack it open. Separate the brown meat and juices and the white meat, and check both thoroughly for any bits of shell.

3. Combine the gazpacho mixture in a blender, adding the brown crab and juices, and adding the still mineral water to reach your preferred consistency. Check the seasoning and pass through a conical strainer.

4. Serve with a little crushed ice, croutons, cucumber dice, the fresh white crab meat, a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkling of parsley.
