Thomas Keller's Ad Hoc Sungold Tomato Gazpacho is a relatively simple recipe which makes the taste of fresh produce really sing. The prep relies on good nice knife skills, a Vita-mix blender and chinois. We had to make do with painfully careful dicing, an immersion blender, and a basic strainer with wooden pestle. But it came out just fine!
Sungold Tomato Gazpacho
1 cup cold water
2 garlic cloves
1/4 cup onion, roughly chopped
2 lbs Sun Gold tomatoes, cut in half. Reserve 1 cup.
1/2 English cucumber, peeled, cored. Reserve other half of the cucumber, diced.
1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
1 red bell pepper, finely diced. Reserve.
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1/2 tsp piment d'Espelette
kosher salt
freshly ground white pepper
3/4 to 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons minced chives
Soak onion and garlic in water. Add tomatoes and juices, cucumber and yellow bell pepper. Marinate for 5 minutes. Puree and strain until smooth. Whisk in vinegar and piment d'Espelette, then season with salt and white pepper. Slowly blend in the olive oil until the soup has a creamy texture and test the seasoning again. Garnish with reserved tomato halves, cucumber, red bell pepper, and chives right before serving.
