Lobster gazpacho 2 1/2 pounds beefsteak tomatoes, peeled, roughly chopped 2 red peppers, roughly chopped 2 onions, roughly chopped 2 cucumbers, roughly chopped 4 stalks of celery, roughly chopped 1/4 cup minced shallots 2 tablespoons minced garlic 2 tablespoons fresh grated horseradish 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro 2 cups V-8 juice 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce Juice of two lemons Pinch of cayenne Salt and pepper 2 pounds cooked lobster, meat removed and shells discarded, claws and tails intact 1 cup fresh herb vinaigrette Using a food processor with a metal blade, combine all the vegetables, shallots, garlic, horseradish, and cilantro together. Puree the mixture until slightly smooth. Add the V-8 juice, Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice and puree until smooth. Season with cayenne, salt and pepper. Remove and refrigerate for 6 hours. Slice the lobster tail meat into 1/4-inch slices. In a mixing bowl, toss the lobster meat with the herb vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper.
this is my all time favorite recipie for gazpacho; in your blender (I use the cuisinart, it's better): 10oz cold tomato juice 1/2 medium cucumber I medium tomato, cut up 1tbs sugar 1/4 cup red wine vinnegar 1/4 salad oil blend that all up (not too smooth, you want some really small pieces of veggies) then add: 2 1/2 cups tomato juice 1 med. tomato chopped 1/2 med cucumber, chopped 1 small onion finley chopped 2 celery stalks, diced 2 green onions, green part only, chopped 1/2 zuchinni, chopped 1 small green pepper, chopped now, it says to chop all the other veggies by hand, but I throw them in the cuisinart and just give it a few quick pulses, till they're chunky and stuff, why do all that work by hand if you don't have to, right? I also use a whole zucchini, and omit the green pepper, and I only use one stalk of celery. You can add or subtract any veggies you liek though. I also throw in one of 2 raw cloves of garlic, and give it a bit of salt and pepper and onion or garlic powder. This recipie makes ALOT of soup, especially cause it doesn't stay good all that long, so I ussually cut it in half don't cook any of the veggies though, the texure is way better raw, I loooooove this soup, in fact, I just made it 2 days ago! good luck
mmm... gazpacho! what a wonderful idea... I'll definately have to try one of those.... that lobster one seems tastiest!
