GAZPACHO SANS BREAD



Gazpacho sans Bread image

The base for this gazpacho is almost classic. It differs from traditional Andalusian gazpacho only in that it contains no bread, which is what gives the authentic dish its unique texture. But the flavor is the same - ripe tomato blended with vinegar, onion, garlic, and olive oil. Keep it in a pitcher in the refrigerator and enjoy a few days of soup.

GAZPACHO



Gazpacho image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 slices white bread, crusts removed, bread broken into big chunks
2 pounds tomatoes, seeded
1 English cucumber, peeled
1 large white onion
1 green bell pepper, seeds and pith removed
2 garlic cloves, smashed
Kosher salt
High quality extra-virgin olive oil
2 to 3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1/2 cup to 1 cup tomato juice, if needed

Steps:

  • For the soup:
  • Soak the bread, in a medium bowl of water to soften, about 15 to 20 minutes. Squeeze out the excess water and place in a large bowl. Coarsely chop the tomatoes, 2/3 of the cucumber, 1/2 the onion, and 1/2 the pepper and add to the bread. Add the garlic, season with salt, and drizzle with olive oil. Mix to combine and let sit for about 20 to 30 minutes to allow the flavors to marry and to let the salt pull some moisture out of the tomatoes.
  • Meanwhile, for the garnish, dice the remaining cucumber, onion and green pepper into perfect 1/4-inch dice and reserve.
  • Working in batches, puree the tomato/bread mixture in a blender with the vinegar. Blend in tomato juice to loosen the mixture, if needed. Remove soup to a large bowl and stir in about 1/2 cup of high quality olive oil. Taste for salt and add more, if needed.
  • Chill. Serve cold garnished with the diced cucumber, pepper and onion. Drizzle with a little more olive oil, if desired.
  • How refreshing!

JOSE ANDRES GAZPACHO (NO BREAD) RECIPE



Jose Andres gazpacho (no bread) Recipe image

Provided by pegsheer

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds ripe red tomatoes (about 10 plum tomatoes)
8 ounces cucumber (about 1 cucumber)
3 ounces green pepper (about 1/2 bell pepper)
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1 garlic clove, peeled
3/4 cup Spanish extra-virgin olive oil
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • DIRECTIONS 1. Cut out and discard the core at the top of the tomatoes, and chop the tomatoes roughly into quarters. Place in the blender. 2. Peel the cucumber and cut into chunks. Add to the tomatoes in the blender. Cut the pepper in half, and remove the core along with the seeds. Again, chop into large pieces and place in the blender. 3. Add the garlic and sherry vinegar to the vegetables and blend until the mixture becomes a thick liquid. At this point the red tomatoes will turn a wonderful pink color. Taste for acidity. This will vary with the sweetness of the tomatoes. If it's not balanced enough, add a little more vinegar. Add the olive oil and season with salt to taste. Re-blend, then pour the gazpacho through a strainer into a pitcher. Place in the fridge to cool for at least half an hour.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, fresh tomatoes for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can grate the tomatoes and cucumber by hand.
  • Be sure to chill the gazpacho for at least 2 hours before serving, or overnight for the best flavor.
  • Garnish the gazpacho with your favorite toppings, such as croutons, chopped cucumber, or a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Serve the gazpacho with a side of bread or crackers for dipping.

Conclusion:

This simple gazpacho recipe is a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy the flavors of summer. It's easy to make, and it's a great way to use up fresh tomatoes. You can adapt the recipe to your own taste preferences by adding or omitting ingredients, and you can also experiment with different toppings.
