Green Gazpacho Food

GREEN GAZPACHO

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients, except the oil, pea shoots and ice cubes, into a food processor with a good pinch of salt and pepper and blitz, adding enough water to get a soupy consistency. Taste, and add a little more vinegar and seasoning if necessary. Chill for up to 24 hrs, or at least 2 hrs.
• To serve, divide between shallow soup bowls, float a few ice cubes in each bowl (see tip, below) and add a scattering of pea shoots and a drizzle of oil before serving.

GREEN GAZPACHO

Steps:

• Puree first 8 ingredients in food processor. Add bread and let stand until soggy, about 2 minutes. Puree until smooth. Mix in 1 1/2 cups water. Transfer gazpacho to large bowl. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
• (Gazpacho can be made up to 2 days ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
• Divide gazpacho among 4 bowls. Place thinly sliced romaine in center of each serving. Sprinkle lettuce with crabmeat and chives, then drizzle with olive oil. Serve immediately.

GREEN GRAPE GAZPACHO

Steps:

• Using a paring knife, split the vanilla bean down the center and place in small saucepot with the orange and grapefruit juice. Bring to a boil, then transfer to a bowl and chill.
• Combine and puree the cucumbers, garlic and almonds with the white grape juice, honey, a generous pinch of salt and about 1/2 cup cold water in a blender. Blend in the red wine vinegar and about 3 cups of the grapes. Taste for seasoning. Transfer to a large bowl and refrigerate until ice cold, about 2 hours.
• Serve: Slice the remaining cup grapes in half. Stir the orange and grapefruit juice into the gazpacho. Serve gazpacho garnished with the remaining grapes and drizzled with the olive oil.

GREEN GAZPACHO

Steps:

• Roast the poblano pepper directly over a gas burner, turning, until charred all over. (Alternatively, broil the pepper.) Transfer to a cutting board to cool slightly and then peel, seed and chop. Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes; set aside to cool slightly.
• Put the mint, cucumbers, lemon juice, oil and garlic mixture and chopped poblano in a blender and puree until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper.
• Ladle the gazpacho into 4 small bowls and top evenly with the tomato, chives and crab or shrimp. Drizzle with oil.

GREEN GAZPACHO (SPAIN)

Steps:

• In a blender, combine lettuce, spinach, scallions, cucumber & parsley, processing until the mixture forms a puree.
• Gradually add the broth, 1/2 cup of sour cream, mayo, mint, salt & pepper, processing the mixture until it has an even consistency, then refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Serve in chilled bowls with a dollop of sour cream in the middle of each.

SIPPIN' GREEN GAZPACHO

Steps:

• Purée cucumbers, garlic, and 1/2 cup water in a blender until smooth. Add arugula, herbs, vinegar, and a large pinch of salt and purée, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed, until very smooth. With the motor running, slowly stream in oil; blend until emulsified. (The mixture will turn pale green and look creamy, almost like a salad dressing; add more oil and/or water if needed.) Taste gazpacho and season with more salt and vinegar as desired-you want it to be borderline too salty and acidic at room temperature. Transfer gazpacho to an airtight container; cover and chill until very cold, 4-12 hours.
• Taste gazpacho and adjust with a little more salt and/or vinegar as needed just before pouring into chilled glasses.

GREEN CUCUMBER & MINT GAZPACHO

Steps:

• In a food processor or blender, blitz all the ingredients, reserving half the mint and yogurt, until smooth. Add a little extra vinegar, Tabasco and seasoning to taste, then add a splash of water if you like it thinner.
• Chill until very cold, then serve with a dollop more yogurt, mint, chives and a few ice cubes if you like. The soup will keep in the fridge for 2 days - just give it a good stir before serving.
