TOMATO-MELON GAZPACHO



Tomato-Melon Gazpacho image

I like gazpacho, but the ultimate minimalist version-take a few tomatoes, a red pepper, some onion, oil, and vinegar, and whiz it in a blender-doesn't always cut it for me. When I confessed this to my friend and sometime co-author Jean-Georges Vongerichten, he suggested I abandon tradition entirely and combine tomatoes with another fruit of the season: cantaloupe. These, combined with basil and lemon-in place of vinegar-produce the mildest, most delicious, creamiest gazpacho I've ever tasted. Make sure to use ripe cantaloupe and tomato at the height of the summer for the best results.

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 tomatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled and seeded
One 3-pound cantaloupe
2 tablespoons olive oil
10 fresh basil leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Juice of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Cut the tomato flesh into 1-inch chunks. Seed the melon and remove the flesh from the rind; cut it into chunks. Put a tablespoon of olive oil in each of two 10- or 12-inch skillets and turn the heat under both to high (you can do this sequentially if you have only one skillet). Add the melon to one skillet and the tomatoes to the other and cook, stirring, until they become juicy, no longer than 2 minutes.
  • In a blender, puree the melon, tomato, 1 1/2 cups water or 1 cup water plus 1/2 cup ice cubes, and the basil, along with some salt and pepper. Chill, then add lemon juice to taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve.

A nice summertime recipe that calls for only raw ingredients and no cooking time. Lovely blend of flavors with no one flavor dominating. Used the Blender to puree. Done rapidly with no heat and would be very good for leftover watermelon. Cooking here is chill time.

TOMATO-WATERMELON GAZPACHO WITH AVOCADO



Tomato-Watermelon Gazpacho With Avocado image

After several days of sitting out on the counter feeding the fruit flies, even the firmest tomatoes start to slacken. That's when you know it's gazpacho time.This time I added watermelon, because I had it and because I wanted a slightly sweeter soup than usual. For color and voluptuous texture, I floated buttery avocado cubes on top. It was pretty enough to serve to company, and expandable enough to use up all the soft tomatoes on the oozing brink.
