Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound white peaches, pitted
1 pound sour plums, pitted
2 cups cubed yellow (or red) seedless watermelon
1 clove garlic, coarsely chopped
1 shallot, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon Champagne vinegar
1 cup plus 3-4 tablespoons fruity olive oil
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4 jumbo diver scallops
Espelette pepper
A few sprigs of fresh thyme (with blossoms if possible)

Steps:

  • Combine the peaches, plums, watermelon, garlic, shallots, and vinegar in the Vitamix, blender, or food processor. Process on high until smooth and creamy, then reduce the speed and drizzle in the 1 cup olive oil until completely incorporated. Season with salt and pepper and set aside to chill in the refrigerator. Go ahead and chill 4 glass soup bowls while you're at it.
  • Preheat the oven to 325°. When the gazpacho is chilled, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Season the scallops generously with salt and pepper. Once the olive oil slips easily across the pan, carefully place the scallops in the pan and sear until golden brown. I like the scallops to be just barely cooked, so I only sear one side. After about 2 minutes on the stovetop, put the whole kit and caboodle in the oven, without flipping the scallops; they will need 2-3 minutes in the oven.
  • Fill each chilled soup bowl with a generous portion of gazpacho and nestle one scallop in each bowl, seared side up. A sprinkling of Espelette pepper and the thyme sprigs and blossoms and a drizzle of fruity olive oil is all you need.

The gazpacho was good, but it was a bit too thick for my taste. I would have preferred a thinner consistency.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili pepper next time.

The gazpacho was good, but the scallops were a bit overcooked. I would recommend cooking them for a shorter amount of time next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit too complicated. There were a lot of ingredients and steps involved, and it took me longer to make than I expected. The end result was good, but I don't think it was worth the effort.

This gazpacho was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would have preferred a more savory flavor profile. The scallops were cooked well, but they were a bit overpowered by the sweetness of the gazpacho.
