AUTHENTIC GAZPACHO RECIPE



Authentic Gazpacho Recipe image

The best Spanish gazpacho recipe I've ever tried. This authentic gazpacho is a blend of different vegetables with olive oil, vinegar, and salt.

Provided by Lauren Aloise

Categories     Tapa

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

6-7 medium tomatoes
1 green Italian pepper (the long type, not a bell pepper)
1 cucumber
½ of a small white onion
1 clove of garlic (not too big)
1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil ((60 ml) again, quality is important)
A splash of Sherry vinegar (Vinagre de Jerez, although red or white wine vinegar can be substituted)
A pinch (or two of salt)
Optional toppings (For ex: diced green apple, diced onion, diced pepper, croutons, & hard-boiled eggs)

Steps:

  • Wash and dry all of the vegetables very well-if you prefer to peel the tomatoes you can, although I usually leave the skin on.
  • Cut the tomatoes into 4 slices (leaving the core behind) and put into your blender.
  • Halve, core, and de-seed the pepper. Cut it into a few slices and add to the blender.
  • Peel the garlic and slice it in half. Remove the core (which often results in bitterness when not cooked).
  • Cut the onion into a few slices and add it to the blender too.
  • Peel the cucumber and cut it in half. Add half to the blender and save the other half for a topping.
  • Blend the vegetables at a high speed until it is completely pureed.
  • Add the salt and vinegar and, while blending on a slow speed, slowly add the olive oil.
  • Taste and adjust salt and vinegar. If the texture is too thick for your liking add some cold water.
  • Refrigerate and serve VERY cold! Add as many (or as few) toppings as you like.

Categories     Soups

Yield 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 garlic cloves, unpeeled
4 large vine-ripened tomatoes, cored and cut into 1-inch chunks
2 red bell peppers, cored, seeded and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 English or hothouse cucumber, halved, seeded and cut into 1-inch chunks (do not peel)
5 cups tomato juice, such as Campbells's (not the low sodium)
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, best quality such as Colavita or Lucini
¼ cup red wine vinegar, best quality such as Pompeian Gourmet
1½ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon Tabasco (optional)

Steps:

  • Place the unpeeled garlic cloves in a small skillet over medium heat; cook, turning occasionally, until soft and blackened in spots, about 10 to 15 minutes. Cool, then remove skins (they should slip right off) and scrape off any char.
  • Add the peeled roasted garlic to the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade; pulse, scraping down sides as necessary, until garlic is finely puréed. Add the chopped tomatoes and pulse until coarsely chopped. Do not overmix; the soup should be slightly chunky. Transfer the tomato mixture to an extra large bowl. Add the red bell peppers and cucumbers to the food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped; add to the bowl with the tomato mixture. Stir in the tomato juice, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, pepper and Tabasco. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Cover the bowl with saran wrap and chill until ready to serve. The longer it sits, the better it tastes. Serve cold.

Time 4h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Olive oil, for brushing
4 scallions
4 tomatillos, halved
2 zucchini, sliced lengthwise into 1/2-inch planks
Kosher salt
1/2 cup plain Greek whole-fat yogurt
8 to 10 fresh basil leaves
2 Kirby cucumbers or 1 English cucumber, quartered (do not peel)
2 cloves garlic
Juice of 1 lemon
Kosher salt
1/4 cup plain Greek whole-fat yogurt
2 tablespoons honey
Green pepper hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • For the veggies: Heat the grill to 400 degrees F.
  • Brush oil on the scallions, tomatillos and zucchini, then sprinkle them with salt and place over the direct heat of the grill. Cook, rotating or flipping occasionally, until everything chars and the tomatillos soften a bit, about 5 minutes.
  • Blend and chill soup: Combine the scallions, tomatillos and zucchini in a blender, along with the yogurt, basil, cucumber, garlic, lemon juice and a nice pinch of salt. Blend until smooth. If the consistency is too thick, add a handful of crushed ice and blend; this should fix it! Taste and season with salt, then taste again. Refrigerate at least four hours or up to overnight.
  • Serve. Mix the yogurt and honey in a small bowl. Serve the soup in bowls and drizzle with the yogurt mixture, and a shake or two of the hot sauce.

ROASTED VEGETABLE GAZPACHO



Roasted Vegetable Gazpacho image

For this recipe you will need roasted vegetable broth. I have published one such recipe (recipe#415106). With this broth plus more vegetables that this recipe calls for, you will have a very healthy, very delicious hot weather soup. However you can use regular vegetable broth such as is available in the supermarket if you wish. Gazpachos may be blended smooth as this one is, or chunky with chopped vegetables. You may wish to reserve some of the roasted veggies to add and give texture to the soup. Gazpachos also have a picante taste. You may wish to "doctor" this soup up to meet your expectations. This soup is so tasty because roasting brings out the best in veggies. Enjoy!

Tips for Making the Best Roasted Vegetable Gazpacho:

  • Choose the right vegetables: Use a variety of colorful and flavorful vegetables, such as tomatoes, bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant, and onions. Roasting the vegetables intensifies their flavor, so choose ones that you enjoy roasted.
  • Roast the vegetables properly: Toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast them at a high temperature until they are tender and slightly charred. This will give the gazpacho a smoky, roasted flavor.
  • Use a good quality bread: The bread is an important ingredient in gazpacho, so use a good quality bread that you enjoy. A crusty bread, such as a baguette, will add a nice texture to the gazpacho.
  • Soak the bread in water: Soaking the bread in water before adding it to the gazpacho helps to soften it and make it easier to blend. This also helps to prevent the gazpacho from becoming too thick.
  • Use a high-powered blender: A high-powered blender is essential for making a smooth and creamy gazpacho. If you don't have a high-powered blender, you can use a regular blender, but you may need to blend the gazpacho in batches.
  • Chill the gazpacho before serving: Gazpacho is best served chilled. Chill the gazpacho for at least 2 hours before serving, or overnight for even better flavor.

Conclusion:

Roasted vegetable gazpacho is a delicious and refreshing soup that is perfect for summer. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant colors and flavors, roasted vegetable gazpacho is a surefire hit at any party or gathering. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful soup, give roasted vegetable gazpacho a try.
