SUNNY'S EASY ROASTED GREEN GAZPACHO



Sunny's Easy Roasted Green Gazpacho image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

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.

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

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.

Categories     Bon Appétit     Soup/Stew     Summer     Appetizer     Cucumber     Arugula     Garlic     Herb     Vinegar     Lunch     Dinner     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Dairy Free     Vegetarian     Vegan

Yield 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds English hothouse cucumbers (about 2 large), chopped
2 garlic cloves, smashed
2 cups coarsely chopped arugula
2 cups coarsely chopped mixed tender herbs (such as basil, parsley, cilantro, and/or mint)
3 tablespoons (or more) sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
Kosher salt
3/4 cup (or more) olive oil

Steps:

  • Purée cucumbers, garlic, and 1/2 cup water in a blender until smooth. Add arugula, herbs, vinegar, and a large pinch of salt and purée, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed, until very smooth. With the motor running, slowly stream in oil; blend until emulsified. (The mixture will turn pale green and look creamy, almost like a salad dressing; add more oil and/or water if needed.) Taste gazpacho and season with more salt and vinegar as desired-you want it to be borderline too salty and acidic at room temperature. Transfer gazpacho to an airtight container; cover and chill until very cold, 4-12 hours.
  • Taste gazpacho and adjust with a little more salt and/or vinegar as needed just before pouring into chilled glasses.

PAN-GRILLED SCALLOPS ON GREEN GAZPACHO



Pan-Grilled Scallops on Green Gazpacho image

Provided by Chuck Hughes

Categories     appetizer

Time 11m

Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 Lebanese cucumbers or 1/2 English cucumber, peeled and small diced
3 canned tomatillos, peels removed and, quartered, or 3 fresh tomatillos, peeled and diced
3 green onions, finely diced
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
1/4 cup olive oil
Coarse or kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
5 sea scallops, shells reserved
Canola Oil, for frying
Olive oil, for drizzling
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • To make the gazpacho: Add the diced cucumbers, tomatillos, onions, and garlic to a mixing bowl. Pour in the olive oil, and sprinkle with the salt, and black pepper, to taste. Stir to combine and set aside to allow the flavors to blend. To make the scallops: Score the scallops with a small knife in a checkerboard pattern.
  • In a hot pan, add enough canola oil to line the bottom and sear the scallops on both sides until barely cooked through, about 30 seconds per side. Once cooked, they should just lose their translucent color. Serve the scallops by arranging the scallop shells on a platter. Place a dollop of the gazpacho onto each shell, and then top with a single seared scallop. Add a drizzle of olive oil and, lastly, a dusting of salt, and pepper.

SUMMERY GREEN GAZPACHO



Summery Green Gazpacho image

Light, chilled, healthy green refreshment for a hot summer's day ... As your thoughts up north turn towards winter, ours at the bottom of the planet turn to thoughts of hot days and cool food! I did not want to add cream -- this gazpacho variation contains only Greek yoghurt and a smidgin of heart-healthy oil. Serve icy cold, perhaps in stemmed glasses, with croutons (which I discovered I'm out of, when I took the photographs). If possible, make a day or at least 4 hours before serving.

Provided by Zurie

Categories     Vegetable

Time 20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 lbs English cucumbers (the long one which needs no peeling and seeding, about 570 g)
1 cup chicken broth, cold (chicken stock, 250 ml)
1 cup parsley, very loosely measured
1/2 cup sweet onion, chopped
1 cup yoghurt, not low-fat, pref. Greek
2 teaspoons sea salt (such as Maldon)
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
2 tablespoons avocado oil or 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
finely chopped spring onion, croutons

Steps:

  • (I am not sure which broth or stock you would use. My granular stock powder is not very salty, so my soup needed more salt than stated above. The cubes unfortunately need boiling water to dissolve, while the granular powders dissolve readily in cold water. Therefore you will have to taste and adjust the seasoning before serving).
  • Rinse cucumber and cut off ends. Cut into rounds and then into cubes, and put into food processor.
  • Add the cold chicken broth/stock, and whizz at medium speed.
  • Add parsley, onion, yoghurt (Greek yoghurt is best)salt, Tabasco, oil and lemon juice.
  • Whizz at high speed until soup is smoothly processed. It won't be, and shouldn't be, velvet smooth.
  • Pour into, preferably, a glass bowl, cover, and chill. It's best to make this a day ahead.
  • Taste before serving, and adjust seasoning.

Tips:

  • To make the gazpacho extra smooth, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve after blending.
  • For a vegan version of the gazpacho, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • If you don't have any stale bread on hand, you can toast fresh bread in the oven for a few minutes to dry it out.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to the gazpacho, such as diced cucumbers, zucchini, or bell peppers.
  • Serve the gazpacho chilled, garnished with croutons, chopped hard-boiled eggs, and diced avocado.

Conclusion:

Green gazpacho is a refreshing and healthy soup that is perfect for a hot summer day. It is made with a variety of fresh vegetables, including cucumbers, tomatoes, and zucchini, and is flavored with garlic, olive oil, and vinegar. Green gazpacho is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, and is a low-calorie meal. Whether you are looking for a light and healthy lunch or a delicious and refreshing appetizer, green gazpacho is a great choice.
