BEET AND TOMATO GAZPACHO

The color alone is reason enough to make this gorgeous gazpacho. This is inspired by a gazpacho by Dani Garcia in Ana von Bremzen's "The New Spanish Table." Mr. Garcia's soup also includes cherries, which I don't miss in this rendition. One roasted beet transforms a classic into a beautiful original.

QUICK CLASSIC GAZPACHO



Quick Classic Gazpacho image

For the ultimate gazpacho, you must peel, seed, dice, salt and drain really good, vine-ripened tomatoes. So what if you don't have time to fuss with fresh tomatoes? I've found the canned variety makes a fine substitute. Another advantage: Fresh tomatoes start to deteriorate as soon as the soup is refrigerated, but canned tomatoes are unaffected by the chill.

BEET AND TOMATO GAZPACHO



Beet and Tomato Gazpacho image

By Martha Rose Shulman in the NYTimes, published August 3, 2013. The beet lends a beautiful color to this version. I only had baby beets, so used a handful of them in lieu of a larger one. I also added one chopped, unpeeled Granny Smith apple, which worked very well. Cooking time is chilling time.

BEST GAZPACHO



Best Gazpacho image

This recipe produces quite a large amount, but do not worry--this gazpacho is so delicious that it will soon be gone. One of my favorites for summer parties. Serve with fresh croutons or bread.

Provided by gartenfee

Time 1h55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 large ripe tomatoes
1 large cucumber
1 medium red onion, coarsely chopped
3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
4 tablespoons red wine vinegar, or more to tate
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, or more to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Prepare a bowl with ice water.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Cut crosses into the bottom of the tomatoes with a sharp knife, and blanch tomatoes in the boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes until the skin begins to come off. Remove tomatoes with a slotted spoon and immediately immerse in the ice water.
  • Remove skin from the tomatoes and cut out the seeds over a bowl (so that no juice is lost); discard the seeds.
  • If the cucumber is organic, leave the peel on; otherwise peel it. Remove seeds of cucumber and roughly chop.
  • Combine tomatoes, cucumber, onion, garlic, and red wine vinegar in a food processor or blender; blend until gazpacho has desired consistency, either coarsely chopped or finely pureed. Slowly add olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Puree again briefly.
  • Refrigerate gazpacho until cold, at least 1 hour. Remove from the fridge at least 30 minutes before serving.
