Mamma Cayes Gazpacho De Blanco White Cold Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Place almonds, pine nuts, garlic, grapes, grape juice, water, and bread in a blender and puree until smooth. Strain the mixture into a bowl. Chill the soup for at least 30 minutes.
• Remove soup from refrigerator and fold the whipped heavy cream into the soup. Finish with a few tablespoons each of the verjus and walnut oil. Ladle into serving bowls and garnish each with chives, almonds and grapes, if desired.

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor, combine tomato juice, onion, bell pepper, cucumber, tomatoes, green onions, garlic, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, tarragon, basil, parsley, sugar, salt, and pepper. Blend until well-combined but still slightly chunky. Chill at least 2 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir leeks until soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove to a plate and allow to cool.
• Place cucumbers in a blender with grapes, almonds, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, creme fraiche, bread cubes, vinegar, cooled leeks, and water. Puree until smooth, about 1 minute. Strain through a fine mesh sieve. Cover and chill for 1 to 2 hours.
• Taste and season with salt and cayenne pepper. If needed, add some more vinegar. Serve garnished with dill oil (see note), thinly sliced grapes, slivered almonds, and fresh dill.

Steps:

• Add all the ingredients up to and including the salt into a blender or food processor and blend thoroughly.
• Dilute, using as much of the remaining 2 1/2 cups water as needed, to reach the consistency of thick milk.
• Taste and season, adjusting as needed (vinegar, sugar, more salt, etc.).
• Chill for at least 1 hour.
• Pour into a small glass; float a small grape as a garnish and (optionally) put a small bunch next to the glass to contrast with the heat of the garlic; also optionally, add some ice, either as cubes or crushed.
• Remember to warn your guests about the "strong garlic surprise".

Steps:

• Blend cucumbers, broth, and garlic in blender or food processor. Add vinegar, salt, and sour cream. Refrigerate 24 hours, or overnight. Serve in chilled bowls with toppings of your choice.
• May be made 2 to 3 days in advance.

Steps:

• Cover bread with cold water, and let soak for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, cover garlic with water in a small saucepan, and bring to a boil. Cook for 3 minutes; drain.
• Pulse blanched almonds in a food processor until finely ground. Squeeze excess liquid from bread, and transfer bread to food processor. Add cooked garlic, vinegar, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Puree mixture until smooth. With machine running, pour in oil in a slow, steady stream, alternating with cup cold water, blending until emulsified. Blend in remaining 2 1/4 cups cold water. Strain through a fine sieve until smooth, discarding solids. Season with salt. Refrigerate gazpacho until chilled, at least 1 hour (or up to 1 day). Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide chilled gazpacho among 6 bowls or glasses. Drizzle with oil and top with grapes, and Marcona almonds if desired, just before serving.

Steps:

• 1. Lightly toast 5 slices of bread. Remove the crusts then set the bread aside to soften in 1 cup of water. Lightly toast the almonds in a small skillet over medium-low heat until golden, about 7 minutes. Transfer the almonds to a food processor add the garlic and pulse until the almonds are finely ground. Squeeze the bread as dry as possible and add it, and about one-third of the grapes to the almonds. Process until the mixture is smooth.
• 2. Transfer the bread mixture to a bowl and gradually beat in first the vinegar, then 1/2 cup of the oil. Beat in the remaining two cups of water then strain the gazpacho through a fine sieve, forcing as much of the bread mixture through as possible. Season the gazpacho with salt and a pinch of cayenne and refrigerate until the soup is well chilled, at least one hour.
• 3. Before serving cut the remaining 3 slices of bread into 1-inch cubes. Fry the croutons over medium heat in the remaining 1/4 cup of oil until crisp and golden. Drain on paper towels. Cut the remaining grapes in halves or quarters. Serve the gazpacho in chilled bowls topped with the grapes, cucumbers, and croutons.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, pour enough cool water over the blanched almonds to cover and let them soak for 15 hours.
• Remove the bread crust, cube it and press it down to make a cup; let it sit overnight. Remove the crust and cube a ¼ cup of bread for the topping; let it sit to dry out overnight.
• The next day, pour heavy cream over the 1 cup of bread cubes, enough to absorb without making them too wet. As we stir the ingredients, the dried bread will absorb enormously; let it rest for 15 minutes.
• Drain the blanched almonds and reserve 2 tablespoons for garnish.
• In the jar of a blender, add soaked bread, blanched almonds, chicken broth, sherry vinegar, chopped garlic, ground sea salt and white pepper.
• Place the lid and remove the cap. On low speed, process the ingredients until blended, about a minute. Taste and adjust if necessary before restarting the blender. In a slow stream, pour in the extra virgin olive oil. When the oil is all incorporated, taste again and adjust if necessary.
• Pour the soup into a large bowl, cover and transfer to the fridge for at least 6 hours.
• About 10 minutes before serving the soup, add a couple tablespoons of oil to a small skillet over medium heat. Add hot paprika and stir to blend with the oil.
• When it gets hot, add the ¼ cup of bread and toss it around until well coated. Toast them until they get a nice golden color, about 3 to 4 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and add a few bread cubes in the center of the bowl filled with soup. Add chopped blanched almonds on top, place some grapes around and finish with olive oil drops.

Steps:

• Set aside a few pieces of tomato, cucumber, and bell peppers for garnish.
• Combine remaining tomatoes, cucumber, and bell peppers with onion, jalapeno, and garlic in a food processor; process until all vegetable are finely chopped. Mix in olive oil, sherry vinegar, and salt.
• Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour.
• Season with pepper before serving and garnish with reserved tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers.

Steps:

• Pare and seed cucumbers; cut into cubes so that you have about 3 cups of cubed cucumber.
• In blender (preferably) or food processor, blend cucumber with 1/2 cup broth until smooth.
• In medium bowl, combine cucumber mixture, remaining broth, sour cream, lemon juice, granulated garlic, and pepper; mix well.
• Season to taste with salt.
• Chill in refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
• Garnish as desired.
• Keep any left over soup in refrigerator.
