Time 20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 1/2 pounds ripe plum or grape tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1 stalk lemon grass, peeled and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup vodka
2 cucumbers, peeled and chopped
2 green bell peppers, seeded, cored and chopped
4 tomatillos, chopped
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon sugar
Salt and pepper
1/2 avocado
1 small handful chives
1 small handful cilantro
1 small handful parsley
1 bunch scallions, trimmed

Steps:

  • The day before serving, combine tomatoes, lemon grass and vodka in a blender and puree until smooth. Line a sieve with cheesecloth or paper towels, set over a bowl and pour in tomato mixture. Refrigerate overnight; clear liquid will slowly drain through. Discard solids.
  • In a glass or ceramic bowl, combine cucumbers, green peppers, tomatillos, vinegars, lemon juice, sugar and a generous sprinkling of salt and pepper. Refrigerate overnight.
  • In a large bowl, blend marinated vegetables, avocado, chives, cilantro, parsley, scallions and tomato liquid until smooth. Taste for salt, pepper and vinegar, adding more as needed. Serve very cold.

This gazpacho was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could use some more seasoning.

This gazpacho was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think it would be perfect for someone who likes a more acidic soup.
