    Gazpacho Shooters

    July 18, 2015 18 Comments

    Gazpacho Shooters

    Gazpacho shooters are a perfect way to kick off a summer party. I like to start a summer party with cheese, crackers, hummus, and some grapes or cherries. Just as I put the meat / fish on the grill for the non-vegetarians in the group (which is usually everyone), I bring out a pitcher of gazpacho and little glasses. If the gazpacho is more puree than chunky, guests can drink it right from the glass. But I like my gazpacho a little chunky, so I serve it in a short glass with a spoon.

    • 3 cups V8 juice
    • 2 pounds tomatoes 7 medium, seeded and diced
    • 2 English cucumbers peeled and diced
    • 1 white onion finely diced
    • 1 red pepper diced
    • 3 to matillos diced
    • ½ Serrano chile pepper
    • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
    • Juice of 1 ½ limes to taste

    • Combine the juice, tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, tomatillos and both peppers into a large bowl. Stir to mix up a bit.
    • Add the Worcestershire, lime juice, olive oil, bread pieces, and salt into the container of a blender or food processor. Whirl like crazy until pureed, and pour into the soup.
    • Stir in the black pepper and a few drops of Tabasco, and adjust for any seasonings and lime juice. Chill for at least 3 hours, or ideally overnight. Serve well-chilled.

      Nothing better than gazpacho in the summer! My oldest doesn't like tomatoes, but he can sometimes be cajoled into eating gazpacho when served in tiny portions like this. 🙂

        It's funny - my husband doesn't really like tomatoes either, but he loves gazpacho, tomato sauce, and tomato soup. And yes, the smaller portions might help with your oldest too 🙂

        Thanks so much Liz! I make it every summer once I see great heirlooms coming into the markets 🙂 And yes, shooters are so fun and a great way to switch up appetizers for everyone.

    I'm a mostly vegetarian married to a mostly carnivore and am on a constant hunt for healthy, delicious recipes we'll both like. Most recipes here are vegetarian with tips for adding meat or fish for the meat-eaters at the table. Whether you're vegetarian, or just wanting to eat less meat, I hope you'll find inspiration here to try something new for your own table, even if you're sharing it with someone with different eating preferences.
