Smokey Roasted Gazpacho Recipes

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!).

GAZPACHO

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.

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.
