Source of Recipe


La Foret


Recipe Introduction


Yellow tomatoes have a lot less acid than red tomatoes and make for a smoother-tasting soup, the chef says. This recipe requires a blender and a food processor.


List of Ingredients




# 6 ripe yellow tomatoes
# 1 sweet white onion
# 2 sweet yellow peppers
# 1 cucumber, peeled
# 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
# 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
# 1 tablespoon salt
# 1 teaspoon white pepper
# 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
# 1/4 cup white vinegar
# Avocado Mousse (recipe follows)
# Shrimp, for garnish (recipe follows)

Recipe



Finely dice 1/4 cup each yellow tomato, onion, yellow pepper and cucumber; set aside. Roughly chop the remaining vegetables and place in a blender with the garlic; whirl until smooth.

Add the cumin, salt and white pepper; mix well. Whisk in the olive oil and vinegar. Stir in the diced vegetables. Chill. When cold, check again for flavoring.

Meanwhile, make the Avocado Mousse and chill it.

At serving time, ladle the cold gazpacho into a shallow bowl. For each serving, place a dollop of Avocado Mousse in the center of the soup and top with 2 grilled shrimp.

Avocado Mousse

* 1 avocado, peeled and seeded
* 1 tablespoon lemon juice
* 1/2 bunch cilantro
* Pinch of salt
* Pinch of white pepper
* Pinch of cayenne pepper
* 1/4 cup heavy cream

Place the avocado in chunks in a food processor. Add the lemon juice. Break up the cilantro and place in the processor with the salt, white pepper and cayenne. Puree until thick. Use a spatula to wipe the insides of the processor bowl. Add the heavy cream and puree. Place in bowl and refrigerate.

Shrimp

* 2 large shrimp (per serving), tails on
* Olive oil
* Salt, to taste
* Black pepper, to taste
* Chicken stock, to taste

Coat the shrimp with olive oil, salt and pepper. Place a saute pan over high heat or heat a grill. Place the shrimp in a saute pan and sauté for about 5 minutes, until the insides are white, or grill until done. If necessary, add a little chicken stock to speed up cooking if you are sauteing.
