Best Yellow Tomato Gazpacho With Cilantro Oil And Avocado Recipes

AVOCADO AND HEIRLOOM TOMATO GAZPACHO

Avocado and Heirloom Tomato Gazpacho image

Gazpacho is like salsa's big sister (many of the ingredients are the same), but "gazpacho" is much more fun to say. For a twist on textures, I leave a small portion of the soup in chunky, diced pieces and blend the rest with creamy avocado until velvety smooth.

Ingredients

1 yellow bell pepper, diced (about 1 cup)
1 orange bell pepper, diced (about 1 cup)
1 large seedless cucumber, peeled and diced (about 1 1/4 cups)
1 medium shallot, minced
1 medium clove garlic, minced
2 medium heirloom tomatoes, diced (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Juice of 1 lime
1 tablespoon Louisiana-style hot sauce, such as Texas Pete
2 tablespoons champagne vinegar or red wine vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
Kosher salt and coarse black pepper
1 avocado, roughly chopped
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, for garnish

Steps:

In a large bowl, combine the bell peppers, cucumber, shallot, garlic, tomatoes, parsley, lime juice, hot sauce, vinegar, oil, and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Measure 1/2 cup of this mixture and set aside.
In a blender, pulse the remaining veggies with the avocado until the mixture is creamy and smooth. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. For a more acidic soup, add another dash of vinegar.
Refrigerate for several hours before serving. Top each portion of soup with a spoonful of the reserved chopped veggies and a dollop of Greek yogurt.

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.

Yield Serves 6

Ingredients

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.
