Yellow Gazpacho Recipes

Steps:

• In a blender, or a food processor fitted with a metal blade, combine the yellow peppers and cucumbers, puree. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the onion and garlic to the blender or food processor and again puree. Combine with the yellow pepper mixture. Finally, place the yellow tomatoes in the blender or processor and puree to desired consistency; some like the puree smooth, while others prefer it chunky. Mix the tomatoes in with the other vegetables. Stir in the vinegar, the oil and the ice cubes if using. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and chill.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the tomatoes and half of the yellow pepper, turning occasionally, until lightly charred on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a blender along with the garlic, shallot, vinegar, salt and pepper and half of the cucumber. Puree until very smooth. Slowly add the olive oil with the motor running. Strain through a medium-meshed sieve into a bowl. Cover and chill at least 4 hours and preferably overnight. Finely chop the remaining half yellow pepper and cucumber and keep refrigerated.
• Before serving, season the gazpacho with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and top with a little of the diced pepper and cucumber, then drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with basil.

Steps:

• Cut off and discard peel, including white pith, from orange with a sharp knife, then cut orange into 1-inch pieces. Stir together with remaining ingredients and 1 teaspoon salt.
• Working in batches, purée in a blender until smooth, about 30 seconds per batch, then force each batch through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Whisk, then season with salt and chill, covered, 1 hour. Whisk before serving.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine chopped tomatoes, large basil leaves, garlic, and vinegar; season with salt. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour. Meanwhile, chill serving bowls in refrigerator.
• Remove and discard basil. Transfer mixture to a blender (working in batches, if necessary) and process until frothy and smooth, about 2 minutes. Season to taste.
• Ladle soup into chilled bowls; mound a bit of cucumber, diced tomato, bell pepper, scallion, and peach in center of each. Top with small basil leaves. Drizzle with oil, season to taste, and serve.

Steps:

• Squeeze tomato juices and seeds into strainer set over bowl. Press on seeds to extract all juice. Chop tomatoes. Set aside 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes, 1/4 cup cucumber, and 1/4 cup bell pepper.
• Combine remaining tomatoes, cucumber, and bell pepper in processor. Add tomato juices, onion, orange juice, oil, vinegar, garlic, and jalapeño; process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer soup to bowl; add reserved vegetables. Cover and chill overnight.
• Divide soup among 6 bowls. Drizzle with cilantro oil. Sprinkle with avocado.

Steps:

• Make bell pepper layer: Feed bell pepper and red tomato through an electric juicer. Pour juice through a fine sieve into a small bowl; discard any solids. Skim foam from surface with a spoon. Stir in hot sauce, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice. Sprinkle 1 envelope gelatin over top. Let stand 5 minutes.
• Transfer mixture to a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin has just dissolved, about 1 1/2 minutes. Let cool slightly. Transfer bell pepper mixture to a 4-cup scalloped gelatin mold. Refrigerate until just set and still sticky, about 20 minutes.
• Make gazpacho layer: Process yellow tomato flesh, the cucumber, and scallions in a food processor until almost pureed, about 10 seconds. Transfer vegetable mixture to a large bowl. Finely chop basil; add basil, 1 teaspoon each salt and lemon juice, and the vinegar to bowl; season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Puree reserved yellow tomato seeds and pulp with the garlic in a food processor. Pour through a very fine sieve into a medium bowl; discard solids.
• Sprinkle remaining gelatin over garlic mixture. Let stand 5 minutes. Transfer to a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin has dissolved, about 2 minutes. Stir garlic mixture into the reserved gazpacho.
• When bell pepper layer has just set, pour gazpacho layer on top. Refrigerate until set, about 4 hours. Aspic can be refrigerated, loosely covered, up to 1 day.
• Run the tip of a paring knife around edge to loosen. Dip mold into a bowl of lukewarm water for several seconds. Pat mold dry, and invert onto a serving plate. Garnish with tomatoes and basil.

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes, pepper, cucumber, onion and garlic in a blender or, if using a hand blender, in a deep bowl. (If necessary, work in batches.) Blend at high speed until very smooth, at least 2 minutes, pausing occasionally to scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula.
• With the motor running, add the vinegar and 2 teaspoons salt. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil. The mixture will turn bright orange or dark pink and become smooth and emulsified, like a salad dressing. If it still seems watery, drizzle in more olive oil until texture is creamy.
• Strain the mixture through a strainer or a food mill, pushing all the liquid through with a spatula or the back of a ladle. Discard the solids. Transfer to a large pitcher (preferably glass) and chill until very cold, at least 6 hours or overnight.
• Before serving, adjust the seasonings with salt and vinegar. If soup is very thick, stir in a few tablespoons ice water. Serve in glasses, over ice if desired, or in a bowl. A few drops of olive oil on top are a nice touch.
