THE BEST GAZPACHO



The Best Gazpacho image

Ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumber and red bell peppers come together to make a delightfully refreshing version of classic gazpacho. We added a touch of sherry vinegar for acidity, which plays nicely with sweet, ripe tomatoes. Hearty white bread adds body and creates the perfect creamy texture. Top with diced cucumber and a drizzle of olive oil for a light soup you'll want to make all summer long.

Categories     appetizer

Time 2h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 slices hearty white bread, crusts removed, diced (about 1 cup diced)
2 1/2 pounds vine-ripened tomatoes, cored and roughly chopped
1 English cucumber, 1/2 roughly chopped and 1/2 finely diced
1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and roughly chopped
1 clove garlic, smashed
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
2 to 3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the bread cubes in a small bowl and add enough water to cover. Let soak until the bread is completely saturated, about 2 minutes. Drain and squeeze dry.
  • Combine the bread, tomatoes, roughly chopped cucumber, bell pepper, garlic, 1/3 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons vinegar, coriander, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a blender. (Work in two batches if necessary.) Blend on high speed until creamy and very smooth, about 2 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a large bowl or 8-cup liquid measuring cup. Cover and refrigerate until very cold, at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
  • Season to taste with more salt and pepper and add up to 1 more tablespoon vinegar. Ladle into serving bowls, top with the finely diced cucumber and drizzle with more olive oil. Serve chilled.

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.
