White Gazpacho With Corn and Crabmeat image

I clipped this recipe from Gourmet magazine years ago and then misplaced it. Luckily I had emailed it to a friend and she found it in her archives. It's a wonderful version of Gazpacho. Very easy, and very elegant.

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 ounces almonds, Smoked
3 garlic cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons salt, Sea
1/3 cup vinegar, Wine

2 cups grapes, green seedless
3 teaspoons oil, Olive
2 cups tomatoes, grape
1 cup corn
1 cup crabmeat

Steps:

  • Process the almonds, garlic, and salt in a food processor or blender until finely ground.
  • Add the vinegar and process.
  • Remove the crust from the bread, and soak in the water.
  • Wring out the water, reserving the water, and add bread to the processor
  • Process until reduced to a fine paste. As motor runs, dribble the olive oil into the paste.
  • Add one cup of the reserved water, and process. Remove to a large bowl.
  • Add the corn and the grapes to processor and puree.
  • Stir into the almond mixture.
  • Whisk in enough of the remaining water to make the soup slightly thicker than you want it when serving. Press mixture through a fine sieve.
  • Press hard on solids, and then discard them.
  • Chill soup and season with salt, white pepper and additional vinegar to taste.
  • While soup chills:
  • Preheat oven to 400
  • line two sheets. Toss grapes with a teaspoon of oil, and put in one sheet.
  • Toss tomatoes with the other teaspoon of oil, and put in other sheet.
  • bake grapes and tomatoes switching position of pans halfway through baking, until wrinkled and slightly caramelized (about 30 minutes).
  • place grapes and tomatoes in a large bowl.
  • Toss in the corn and the crabmeat.
  • Stir Gazpacho and ladle into chilled bowls, then divide crab mixture between the bowls.
