Roasted Gazpacho Food

ROASTED VEGETABLE GAZPACHO RECIPE

Steps:

• Char the tomatoes, peppers, onion, and two of the garlic cloves using your preferred method (roasting under the broiler, on a gas stove, or on a grill). Don't burn too much -- you'll be using the skin in the recipe for the smoky flavor.
• Cut the tomatoes into chunks and remove the core if it's too fibrous.
• Cut the bell peppers into chunks and remove the seeds.
• Remove the jalapeño seeds if you don't want this to be too spicy. (I keep them!)
• Cut the onion into chunks.
• Add all of the charred vegetables into a blender, along with the peeled cucumber, one clove of raw garlic, the parsley and cilantro.
• Pulse a couple of times, then add the cold water, sherry vinegar, lemon juice, and spices.
• Blend on high and as blending, slowly add the olive oil.
• Taste and if necessary add more cold water, olive oil, lemon juice or seasoning.
• Chill in the fridge until ice cold.
• Enjoy topped with some additional diced cucumber, and homemade croutons (both optional!).

ROASTED VEGETABLE GAZPACHO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut the tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant, and onions into large chunks as directed, making all the chunks approximately the same size. Toss the vegetable chunks and garlic cloves in a large bowl with the olive oil.
• Spread vegetables in a single layer in a roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven 25 minutes or till tender, turning once.
• Puree the vegetables with the 4 cups broth and place in a large bowl. Add sherry vinegar and black pepper to taste.
• Cut crusts off bread slices and discard or reserve for another use. Tear the bread slices into pieces and stir into the soup mixture.
• Refrigerate several hours. Serve garnished with fresh chopped cilantro.

ROASTED GARLIC GAZPACHO

Steps:

• Place the unpeeled garlic cloves in a small skillet over medium heat; cook, turning occasionally, until soft and blackened in spots, about 10 to 15 minutes. Cool, then remove skins (they should slip right off) and scrape off any char.
• Add the peeled roasted garlic to the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade; pulse, scraping down sides as necessary, until garlic is finely puréed. Add the chopped tomatoes and pulse until coarsely chopped. Do not overmix; the soup should be slightly chunky. Transfer the tomato mixture to an extra large bowl. Add the red bell peppers and cucumbers to the food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped; add to the bowl with the tomato mixture. Stir in the tomato juice, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, pepper and Tabasco. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Cover the bowl with saran wrap and chill until ready to serve. The longer it sits, the better it tastes. Serve cold.

GAZPACHO

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!

SUNNY'S EASY ROASTED GREEN GAZPACHO

Steps:

• For the veggies: Heat the grill to 400 degrees F.
• Brush oil on the scallions, tomatillos and zucchini, then sprinkle them with salt and place over the direct heat of the grill. Cook, rotating or flipping occasionally, until everything chars and the tomatillos soften a bit, about 5 minutes.
• Blend and chill soup: Combine the scallions, tomatillos and zucchini in a blender, along with the yogurt, basil, cucumber, garlic, lemon juice and a nice pinch of salt. Blend until smooth. If the consistency is too thick, add a handful of crushed ice and blend; this should fix it! Taste and season with salt, then taste again. Refrigerate at least four hours or up to overnight.
• Serve. Mix the yogurt and honey in a small bowl. Serve the soup in bowls and drizzle with the yogurt mixture, and a shake or two of the hot sauce.

GAZPACHO

Steps:

• Fill a 6-quart pot halfway full of water, set over high heat and bring to a boil.
• Make an X with a paring knife on the bottom of the tomatoes. Drop the tomatoes into the boiling water for 15 seconds, remove and transfer to an ice bath and allow to cool until able to handle, approximately 1 minute. Remove and pat dry. Peel, core and seed the tomatoes. When seeding the tomatoes, place the seeds and pulp into a fine mesh strainer set over a bowl in order to catch the juice. Press as much of the juice through as possible and then add enough bottled tomato juice to bring the total to 1 cup.
• Place the tomatoes and juice into a large mixing bowl. Add the cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, jalapeno, garlic clove, olive oil, lime juice, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire, cumin, salt and pepper and stir to combine. Transfer 1 1/2 cups of the mixture to a blender and puree for 15 to 20 seconds on high speed. Return the pureed mixture to the bowl and stir to combine. Cover and chill for 2 hours and up to overnight. Serve with chiffonade of basil.
