TOMATILLO, TOMATO AND AVOCADO GAZPACHO



Tomatillo, Tomato and Avocado Gazpacho image

Avocados contribute a creamy texture to this spicy gazpacho.I wanted to make this with tomatillos only, but found that what makes a great salsa doesn't necessarily make a great gazpacho. So I added tomatoes to the creamy mixture. I don't like the color as much, but I love the taste. If you can find green zebra tomatoes, use them for the nice green color. Make sure to strain this because the tomatillo seeds won't blend.

Time 30m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound tomatillos, papery shells removed, rinsed
2 slices red or white onion
2 to 3 garlic cloves, to taste
2 serrano chiles or 1 jalapeño, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (to taste)
1 large ripe avocado
1/2 cup chopped cilantro, plus additional cilantro for garnish
1 teaspoon lightly toasted cumin seeds, ground
Salt to taste
Few drops of vinegar
1 pound ripe tomatoes, preferably green zebras
Freshly squeezed lime juice for serving

Steps:

  • Place the tomatillos in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer 8 to 10 minutes, flipping them over halfway through, until olive green and softened. Drain and transfer to a blender.
  • Meanwhile put the onion slices in a bowl, cover with cold water and add a few drops of vinegar. Let sit for 5 minutes while you prepare the remaining ingredients. Drain and rinse with cold water. Cut in half or into smaller pieces.
  • Add the onions and remaining ingredients plus a cup of cold water and blend until smooth. You will probably have to do this in two batches. Strain through a medium strainer, taste and adjust seasonings. Chill for two hours or longer. Garnish each bowl with chopped cilantro and a few drops of lime juice.
