Categories     Crab

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 fresh ripe tomatoes, peeled and seeded
3 -4 cloves fresh garlic (or more or less to suit taste, I find that 3 cloves are just the right amount)
1/2 cup yellow bell pepper, diced small
1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced small
1/2 cup green bell pepper, diced small (do not use just green bell pepper, as the soup will be bitter, try to mix all together)

1/2 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons salt, to taste
1/2 lb small shrimp, cooked and chilled

crouton, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a food processor, place the garlic and tomatoes; blend until a rough-chop stage.
  • Dice peppers and green onions.
  • In a large mixing bowl, place the crushed tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, green onions, olive oil, lemon juice and salt; mix well.
  • (if desired you may process all of the veggies for a smoother texture, if you prefer a chunky gazpacho, then leave the veggies chopped).
  • Chill for 2 hours.
  • Ladle into small soup bowls.
  • Cut the shellfish into bite-size pieces, and divide equally among the bowls.
  • Top with croutons, and freshly ground black pepper.

GAZPACHO WITH GARLIC CROUTONS



Gazpacho with Garlic Croutons image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

8 beefsteak tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch dice
5 cloves garlic
1/2 English cucumber, peeled, cut into coarse 1/2-inch dice
1/2 green bell pepper, stem and seeds removed, cut into coarse 1/2-inch dice
1/2 white onion, cut into coarse 1/2-inch dice
2 cups tomato juice
Kosher salt
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup sherry vinegar
2 generous shakes of hot sauce, such as Tabasco
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic
1 cup rustic white bread, crusts removed, cut into 1/4-inch dice
Kosher salt
2 ears corn, kernels removed from the cob
1/2 English cucumber, peeled, cut neatly into 1/4-inch dice
1/2 green bell pepper, cut neatly into 1/4-inch dice
1/2 white onion, cut neatly into 1/4-inch dice
1/2 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • For the soup: In a large bowl combine the tomatoes, garlic and the coarsely chopped cucumbers, peppers and onions. Toss the veggies together. Using a blender or food processor in batches, puree the veggies with 1/2 cup of tomato juice in each batch until smooth. Season each batch with salt. Continue until all the veggies are pureed. If you have any tomato juice left, toss it into the mix, if not YAY!
  • Add the olive oil, sherry vinegar and hot sauce to the puree and stir to combine. Taste and season with salt if needed (it will.) If the soup is a bit too vinegary add another pinch of salt (it offsets the acid). Stir, taste again and re-season if needed. Cover and refrigerate until the soup is cold, at least 1 hour.
  • For the garlic croutons: Add the olive oil to a large saute pan. With the side of a large knife, smash the garlic cloves to break them. You should be able to smell the garlic....YUM!!! Add the smashed garlic cloves to the pan and bring it to medium heat. Cook the garlic until it is golden and very aromatic, 3 to 5 minutes, then remove it from the pan and ditch it. It has fulfilled its garlic destiny. Add the diced bread to the garlic-perfumed oil and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Season with salt. Remove from the heat and reserve.
  • To serve: Remove the soup from the fridge, taste it and adjust the seasoning if needed. (When things are cold they taste less, so do not be alarmed if the soup needs a little more salt.) Place the corn, all the finely diced veggies, croutons and sour cream in ramekins or little bowls and allow people to garnish their soup as desired. It's a DIY situation!!!
  • Gazzzz-PACH-ooooooooo that's good!!!

A Cuban twist on a summer favorite. (Cooking time is refrigeration time). Frozen corn (thawed) may be used for fresh corn (skip step 4). Cooked baby shrimp (cocktail or bay shrimp) can also be used, but I like the flavor and texture of the chopped larger shrimp.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 pounds ripe tomatoes, preferably beefsteak, cut into chunks
1 tablespoon coarse salt
12 ounces (about 18) large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on, shells reserved
4 cups cold water
1 teaspoon red-wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sherry vinegar
1/2 cup Madeira or dry sherry
18 mussels, scrubbed well and debearded
3 garlic cloves, smashed
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
1 tablespoon very thinly sliced fresh flat-leaf parsley, for garnish
1 three-inch piece English cucumber, peeled, seeded, and finely diced, for garnish
1/2 yellow bell pepper, ribs and seeds removed, finely diced, for garnish

Steps:

  • Working in batches, pulse tomatoes and salt in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Transfer mixture to a cheesecloth-lined sieve set over a stockpot. Let strain in refrigerator for at least 6 hours (or up to overnight).
  • Bring shrimp shells and 3 cups water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat, and let simmer, partially covered, for 30 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve into a heatproof bowl; discard shells. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour (or up to 1 day).
