TOMATILLO, TOMATO AND AVOCADO GAZPACHO



Tomatillo, Tomato and Avocado Gazpacho image

Avocados contribute a creamy texture to this spicy gazpacho.I wanted to make this with tomatillos only, but found that what makes a great salsa doesn't necessarily make a great gazpacho. So I added tomatoes to the creamy mixture. I don't like the color as much, but I love the taste. If you can find green zebra tomatoes, use them for the nice green color. Make sure to strain this because the tomatillo seeds won't blend.

Time 30m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound tomatillos, papery shells removed, rinsed
2 slices red or white onion
2 to 3 garlic cloves, to taste
2 serrano chiles or 1 jalapeño, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (to taste)
1 large ripe avocado
1/2 cup chopped cilantro, plus additional cilantro for garnish
1 teaspoon lightly toasted cumin seeds, ground
Salt to taste
Few drops of vinegar
1 pound ripe tomatoes, preferably green zebras
Freshly squeezed lime juice for serving

Steps:

  • Place the tomatillos in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer 8 to 10 minutes, flipping them over halfway through, until olive green and softened. Drain and transfer to a blender.
  • Meanwhile put the onion slices in a bowl, cover with cold water and add a few drops of vinegar. Let sit for 5 minutes while you prepare the remaining ingredients. Drain and rinse with cold water. Cut in half or into smaller pieces.
  • Add the onions and remaining ingredients plus a cup of cold water and blend until smooth. You will probably have to do this in two batches. Strain through a medium strainer, taste and adjust seasonings. Chill for two hours or longer. Garnish each bowl with chopped cilantro and a few drops of lime juice.

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.)

AVOCADO AND HEIRLOOM TOMATO GAZPACHO



Avocado and Heirloom Tomato Gazpacho image

Gazpacho is like salsa's big sister (many of the ingredients are the same), but "gazpacho" is much more fun to say. For a twist on textures, I leave a small portion of the soup in chunky, diced pieces and blend the rest with creamy avocado until velvety smooth.
