Okay, Duchess . . .
I see you "poo poo-ed" my gazpacho recipe and opted for fruit suggestions. Consider this one - NO tomatoes ( and tomatoes are a fruit
)
Pineapple Gazpacho
1 - Yellow Bell Pepper
1 - Green Bell Pepper
1 - Red Bell Pepper
1 - Red Onion
2 - Cucumbers - Peeled and seeded
4 - Anaheim Green Chiles - Roasted and peeled
1 - Pineapple - Peeled and cored
1 Cup - Jicama or Daikon
4 - Garlic cloves - Peeled and smashed
1 - Fresh Ginger - quarter sized - peeled
1⁄2 Cup - Cilantro - chopped
1⁄4 Cup - Lime Juice - fresh squeezed
1⁄2 Cup - Orange Juice - fresh squeezed
1 Cup - Mirin
2 Cups - Pineapple Juice
1⁄2 Cup - EV Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
Divide the peppers, onion, cucumber, pineapple and chilis into two groups. Finely dice one group. Puree the non-diced group with the ginger and garlic.
Combine both groups, pureed and diced, with remaining ingredients in a NONCORROSIVE BOWL.
Again . . . you and the soup chill before serving.
Personally, I love the tomato based gazpacho. But this "East meets West" fusion version, always gets the nod from friends and family.
Remember . . . tweak it to your liking . . . this is just a "jumping-off" point.
