Provided by Love and Lemons

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

Ingredients
1 pound tomatillos (8 medium)
¼ white onion
2 whole unwrapped garlic cloves
¼ to ½ jalapeño pepper
¼ cup Arbequina extra virgin Olive Oil from Spain, more for drizzling
½ English cucumber, chopped
½ cup packed cilantro
2 tablespoons lime juice
½ to 1 teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon honey or pure maple syrup
¼ cup plain whole milk Greek yogurt
Yogurt Drizzle
¼ cup plain whole milk Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon lime juice
2 teaspoons water
Pinch of sea salt
Garnishes
Arbequina extra virgin Olive Oil from Spain, for drizzling
Kernels from 1 ear of corn, lightly charred
1 cup finely diced cucumber
½ cup yellow cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
Fresh herbs (mint or cilantro)
Microgreens
1 tablespoon hemp seeds

Steps:

  • Instructions
  • Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. On a plate or small baking sheet, toss the tomatillos, onion, garlic, and jalapeño with drizzles of Olive Oil from Spain and a few pinches of sea salt.
  • Wrap the garlic cloves in a piece of foil and place all the vegetables directly on the grill. Grill 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until the tomatillos are soft, charred, and just starting to burst, and the onion and jalapeño are charred and soft. Remove from the grill and unwrap the garlic. Let cool, then chill completely. (This step can be done in advance.)
  • In a blender, combine the chilled tomatillos, onion, garlic, ¼ of the jalapeño pepper, ¼ cup of Olive Oil from Spain, cucumber, cilantro, lime juice, ½ teaspoon salt, honey, and the yogurt. Blend until smooth. Season with more salt, if desired (I add ½ teaspoon). Taste and add the remaining jalapeño, if desired, for more spice. Chill the soup until ready to serve.
  • Yogurt drizzle: In a small bowl, mix the yogurt, lime juice, water, and a pinch of sea salt.
  • Serve the soup with the yogurt drizzle and any desired garnishes.

TOMATILLO GAZPACHO



Tomatillo Gazpacho image

This is very refreshing and a little different from the usual gazpacho. I use an immersion blender to puree the tomatillos rather than a regular blender. Adapted from Fine Cooking, June/July 2007. (Time does not include refrigeration time.)

Provided by Fran6

Categories     Low Protein

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth
1 lb tomatillo, quartered
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 medium avocados, finely diced
1 small cucumber, seeded and finely diced
1 red bell pepper, finely diced
1/4 small red onion, finely diced
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
kosher salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat broth over medium-high heat. Add tomatillos and garlic; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tomatillos are cooked through but still hold their shape, about 1 minute. Let cool slightly, about 5 minutes, then carefully puree mixture in blender along with olive oil.
  • Cool completely, then stir in remaining ingredients. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate at least one hour before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for ripe, juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and fresh herbs.
  • Chill your ingredients before blending: This will help to create a smooth, refreshing gazpacho. You can also chill the bowls or glasses you will be serving the gazpacho in.
  • Use a good quality blender: A high-powered blender will help to create a smooth, creamy gazpacho. If you don't have a blender, you can use a food processor, but the results may not be as smooth.
  • Add the ingredients to the blender in the correct order: This will help to ensure that the gazpacho is properly blended and has a smooth texture. Start with the liquids, then add the solids, and finally the herbs and spices.
  • Taste the gazpacho and adjust the seasonings as needed: Gazpacho is a versatile dish, so feel free to adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or vinegar, or you may want to add a touch of sweetness with honey or agave nectar.

Conclusion:

Green cucumber tomatillo gazpacho is a refreshing, healthy, and delicious summer soup. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are looking for a light lunch or a refreshing appetizer, green cucumber tomatillo gazpacho is a perfect choice.
