Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (3-inch-long) piece baguette, crust discarded
1 garlic clove
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 lb whole blanched almonds (3/4 cup)
1 tablespoon Sherry vinegar (preferably "reserva"), or to taste
1/2 cup mild extra-virgin olive oil (preferably Andalusian hojiblanca)
2 cups ice water
Garnish: 24 peeled seedless green grapes and 12 peeled cooked small shrimp (about 1/3 lb)

Steps:

  • Soak bread in 1/2 cup water 1 minute, then squeeze dry, discarding soaking water.
  • Mash garlic to a paste with salt using a mortar and pestle (or mince and mash with a large knife). Blend garlic paste and almonds in a food processor until nuts are as smooth as possible. Add bread and 1 tablespoon vinegar and, with motor running, add oil in a slow stream, then add ice water and blend well. Force purée through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing firmly on solids. Discard solids.
  • Transfer soup to a glass container and chill, covered, until cold, about 3 hours. Season with salt and vinegar before serving.

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.

AVOCADO AND HEIRLOOM TOMATO GAZPACHO



Avocado and Heirloom Tomato Gazpacho image

Gazpacho is like salsa's big sister (many of the ingredients are the same), but "gazpacho" is much more fun to say. For a twist on textures, I leave a small portion of the soup in chunky, diced pieces and blend the rest with creamy avocado until velvety smooth.

GRAPE AND ALMOND GAZPACHO



Grape and Almond Gazpacho image

From Food and Wine June 2003: "There are zillions of choices beyond the obvious tomato-and-bell-pepper combination. This grape-almond gazpacho from Cindy Pawlcyn at Mustards Grill in Napa Valley is fruity, savory and complex. I doubt cream cheese is classic, but it does give the soup quite a bit of body; toasting the almonds enhances their flavor." I have currently not tried this but wanted to keep it somewhere in case I might want to.
