I need to finally get around to trying some recipes. Recommendations happily accepted.

― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 28 April 2007 21:45 (eighteen years ago)

ned, have you never tried gazpacho? what kind of californian are you?

― get bent, Saturday, 28 April 2007 21:45 (eighteen years ago)

I have tried gazpacho, I have never *made* gazpacho. Similar to how many a Southern Californian buys a taco without ever having made one.

― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 28 April 2007 21:47 (eighteen years ago)

i want to make one like the above with coarsely chopped vegetables that aren't pureed into oblivion.

― get bent, Saturday, 28 April 2007 21:50 (eighteen years ago)

Ned what about POST EQUINE TRANSPORTATION?? you must be the only adult in southern cali who doesn't drive.

anyway I finally tried WHITE gazpacho at a fancy NYC restaurant last year, it was totally amazing. made from almonds, no dairy, just indescribly delicious. I like the red stuff too, been getting it from Zabar's of all places -- kosher gazpacho?
my friend who's from Spain gave a big lecture once about gazpacho and of course nobody in america knows how to make it and mexican gaz -- forget about it. I guess white gazpacho is a regional variation.

― m coleman, Saturday, 28 April 2007 21:57 (eighteen years ago)

according to my pal carmen the true spanish gaz doesn't have chopped veg but I like it like that w/slivers of cuke or maybe zuchini

During its long, arid summers, Andalucía cools itself down with chilled gazpacho, a hearty and pungent soup that has gained fame throughout the world for its amazing thirst-quenching quality. Often described as a liquid salad, gazpacho descends from ancient Roman concoction based on a combination of stale bread, garlic, olive oil, salt, and vinegar. As Romans labored to build roads and aqueducts across Spain in the scorching heat, this creamy soup replenished them with the necessary salt and vitamins lost through physical exertion. Later, shepherds and farmers added vegetables to make it more hearty and satisfying.

Because tomatoes and bell peppers were not indigenous to Spain, these ingredients were not added to the soup until after Spain's discovery of the New World. Since that time, gazpacho has remained relatively unchanged - an unpretentious soup designed to quench the thirst evoked by the unrelenting Spanish sun.

I'm just THAT GOOD. (As it stands, JBR makes two.)

― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 28 April 2007 22:03 (eighteen years ago)

With 30 tomato plants in the ground I 'spect I'll be making plenty this year. I've got some purple, reddish-black and green varieties that should make some kooky looking versions.

i had some gazpacho the other night! it was tasty, but once my friend mentioned it seemed like eating a bowl of salsa, i couldn't get that thought out of my head! i still like it lots, though!

― tehresa, Saturday, 28 April 2007 22:51 (eighteen years ago)

and eating a bowl of salsa is bad because... ?

― get bent, Saturday, 28 April 2007 22:55 (eighteen years ago)

it is a 'condiment'?
i dunno... i still like it!

― tehresa, Saturday, 28 April 2007 22:57 (eighteen years ago)

I heart the gazpacho. HEART IT, I say!

That's for goddamn sure.

Meantime with my latest haul I've made a zucchini and carrot scapece I will be trying tonight.

― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 28 April 2007 23:06 (eighteen years ago)

so gazpacho is the original gatorade? Did it come in flavors like "arctic blast" and "frost" as well?

― dan selzer, Sunday, 29 April 2007 05:10 (eighteen years ago)

jesus i could go for some gazpacho.

― ian, Sunday, 29 April 2007 05:12 (eighteen years ago)

according to my pal carmen the true spanish gaz doesn't have chopped veg but I like it like that w/slivers of cuke or maybe zuchini

Whenever I've had it in spain (mainly in catalunya) it has been server with chopped vegetables and crutons in little side dishes to sprinkle on as required.

― Ed, Sunday, 29 April 2007 06:46 (eighteen years ago)

Very good in a bloody mary.

I seem to be getting lots of yellow tomatoes in the market right now so I need to try and make some yellow gazpacho.

― Ed, Sunday, 29 April 2007 06:47 (eighteen years ago)

white gazpacho OTM

― I DIED, Sunday, 29 April 2007 07:24 (eighteen years ago)

This is how I do it every summer. I don't have the recipe anymore but this is more or less right...

2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 yellow or orange pepper, seeded and chopped
1 cucumber, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
2 c. chicken (or veggie) stock
1 c. V8 juice
1 Tbs. red wine vinegar
12 ice cubes
Salt and pepper to taste

Combine. Refrigerate. (If you eat it immediately, it won't taste right at all.) Once the ice cubes have melted, taste. If it's too strong, add some cold water. Serve.

*The raw onions and garlic will give you terrible breath, so make sure everyone around you eats some too.

It was all pretty damn good. The Nebraska wedding tomatoes for the salad came from a coworkers' garden.

I love it! One night it was so hot and I was so distracted that my soup warmed up it was terrible.

― o-ess, Saturday, 23 August 2008 10:14 (seventeen years ago)

Good gazpacho is SO good. Ideally, gazpacho should be somewhere between salsa fresca and a bloody mary.

― libcrypt, Saturday, 23 August 2008 18:11 (seventeen years ago)

Gazpacho tonight here, but yeah, when it's fridge-cold I don't dig it.

I had a friend from San Diego who made what she called gazpacho, but which was (to me) pico de gallo. Is this kind of thing commonly called gazpacho in SoCal?

― Euler, Saturday, 23 August 2008 18:29 (seventeen years ago)

No, it's just a little chunkier than you are used to it.

― libcrypt, Saturday, 23 August 2008 18:44 (seventeen years ago)

Nicely done. I'm about to finish off the remainder from yesterday.

Waiter brings the soup.
Diner 1: "Hey, waiter, this soup's cold!"

But she had her own painful exposure to failed humor when she lived in France, and found that many of her witticisms did not translate well into her second language.

"I may have been Nancy funny, but I was not French-speaking-Nancy funny," she said.

Does she mean Ernie Bushmiller's Nancy? If so, I am anxious to meet this brilliant woman.

xp I've stood by that recipe for years. Only thing I failed to mention in the original recipe is you can add a little hot sauce if that's what you're into.

― the aztec mystic pizza (Stevie D), Wednesday, 14 July 2010 01:26 (fifteen years ago)

I generally dislike cucumber a lot but as a vegan I feel sort of obligated to try this recipe out. Will a baguette work for the bread?

― the aztec mystic pizza (Stevie D), Wednesday, 14 July 2010 01:34 (fifteen years ago)

i was making golden gazpacho at a place i was working at last year. it was really killer: the usu. gazpacho ingredients, but with golden tomatoes, a bit of orange juice (not enough to taste it), and i forget if there was another acid in there....people LOVED it.

i think a baguette would be perfect, Stevie D

dont give me a virgin bloody mary in a bowl

― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 10 July 2021 00:06 (four years ago)

To each his own but to me bloody marys are disgusting and a good gazpacho - a GOOD one, I stress - is infinitely more delicious. A gazpacho is a delicate and subtle concoction, not some sinus-clearing horseradishy bullshit you throw together with vodka. That aside, I want to mention that the worst gazpacho I ever had was at a restaurant called Spain, located at 113 W. 13th St. in Manhattan. It was like watery tomato soup out of a can.

I like the gazpacho recipe from the NYT, but I didn't strain it

https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1017577-best-gazpacho

bloody marys made right are also good

― Dan S, Saturday, 10 July 2021 01:15 (four years ago)

I think gazpachos should always be orange (except white ones obv). Red gazpacho is a red flag.

― Josefa, Saturday, 10 July 2021 01:20 (four years ago)

I've made that NYT gazpacho recipe 2-3 times a week every summer since they published it. At first followed almost to the letter, but it got boring and I started adding in random stuff (most frequently fruit, herbs, hot peppers, multiple vinegars). I make it in the pitcher using an immersion blender and drink it out of a glass like lemonade between meals or instead of a meal.

Map, your bf's version sounds amazing.

― Deflatormouse, Saturday, 10 July 2021 02:11 (four years ago)

The best tip they give you in that recipe is not to skimp on the olive oil. It really makes all the difference. It only ever turns out great when I'm pretty worried that I added way too much olive oil.

― Deflatormouse, Saturday, 10 July 2021 02:14 (four years ago)

A Bloody Mary made with gazpacho, or gazpacho with a slug of gin in it is a fine thing.

Also good in both, lime pickle.

― American Fear of Scampos (Ed), Saturday, 10 July 2021 03:46 (four years ago)

Ooooo that sounds amazing

― Linda and Jodie Rocco (map), Saturday, 10 July 2021 03:59 (four years ago)

I am happily lazy in that my preferred local market makes solid gazpachos to go during these months. Pretty much I have two a week for dinner usually, a little tofu added for protein and I'm set.
