Simple Gazpacho Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Cover and chill for 2-3 hours before serving. Serve cold.

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.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 4 hours.

Steps:

• Dump 1/3 cup olive oil and lemon juice into a blender or food processor.
• Add the vegetables, then the seasonings.
• I start w/ a little add more after I've mixed it all up.
• Use the"chop" or"grate" function until the gazpacho is soupy but still has some good sized chunks.
• Taste and then add more salt, pepper, oil or basil to your preference.
• I usually serve this*very* cold as a summer appetizer or meal w/ tabasco and parmesean cheese on the side, and some good crostini or bread.

Steps:

• Roughly chop the cucumbers, bell peppers, tomatoes, and red onions into 1-inch cubes. Put each vegetable separately into a food processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse until it is coarsely chopped. Do not overprocess!
• After each vegetable is processed, combine them in a large bowl and add the garlic, tomato juice, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well and chill before serving. The longer gazpacho sits, the more the flavors develop.

Steps:

• Wash and coarsely chop the tomatoes, saving the juice.
• Core, seed and coarsely chop the peppers.
• Peel, seed and coarsely chop the cucumbers.
• Dice the celery.
• Whisk vinegar, oil, tomato juice and V8 together in a small bowl.
• Puree the vegetables in small batches, using a blender or food processor. Add tomato juice mixture, as necessary. Do not puree completely -- mixture should be chunky and crunchy.
• Stir in cayenne and dill and salt and pepper to taste.
• Cover and chill for at least 4 hours.

Steps:

• Put the onion, garlic, pepper, tomatoes and bread in a food processor and blend until finely chopped, but not too smooth. Tip into a large bowl with the passata, stock, oil, vinegar, Tabasco or harissa, sugar and seasoning. Mix well, cover the bowl with cling film or foil and put in the fridge for at least 2 hrs or overnight.
• To serve, pour into small bowls or glasses, drizzle over a little olive oil and sprinkle with a few torn basil leaves.

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:

• 1. In a bowl, reserve 2 tablespoons each of the tomato, cucumber, pepper, and onion to garnish.
• 2. In the food processor or blender, purée the remaining ingredients (except the croutons) until smooth, adjusting the seasoning to taste with lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper.
• 3. Cover and chill thoroughly, at least 3 hours but preferably overnight. Adjust the consistency as desired with water. Serve in chilled bowls garnished with the reserved vegetables and croutons.
