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.

I followed the recipe exactly but my gazpacho turned out too watery. Not sure what went wrong.

I'm a bit disappointed with this recipe. The gazpacho was bland and lacked flavor.

I added a bit of spice to this gazpacho by using a hotter pepper. It gave it a nice kick!

This gazpacho was so refreshing and flavorful! The cucumber and tomatillo gave it a nice balance of sweetness and tartness. I also loved the addition of the avocado and cilantro. It really took the dish to the next level.
