SUMMARY:Make NYT's Tomato Gazpacho to Share With Others
DESCRIPTION:Join KindChef Deb to make a Tomato Gazpacho (based on this recipe from New York Times). After completing your soup\, freeze and label it for donation\, then drop off at one of our participating food assistance providers\, with a person or family that is in your heart\, or anyplace that you prefer\, when convenient. Finally\, report on where you shared your KindSoup and spread the word: Post a picture or two of you and your soups on social media with #DoKindWorks and tag us @DoKindWorks. \nConnect to Zoom event \n\n\nTomato Gazpacho\n\n\n\n\nAbout 4 pounds ripe red tomatoes\, cored and roughly cut into chunks\n2 Italian frying (cubanelle) pepper or another long\, light green pepper\, such as Anaheim\, cored\, seeded and roughly cut into chunks\n2 cucumbers\, about 8 inches long\, peeled and roughly cut into chunks\n2 small mild onions (white or red)\, peeled and roughly cut into chunks\n2 cloves garlic\n4 teaspoons sherry vinegar\, more to taste\nSalt\n3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil\, more to taste\, plus more for drizzling\n\nInstructions\n\n\n\nStep 1 – Combine tomatoes\, pepper\, cucumber\, onion and garlic in a blender or\, if using a hand blender\, in a deep bowl. (If necessary\, work in batches.) Blend at high speed until very smooth\, at least 2 minutes\, pausing occasionally to scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStep 2  – With the motor running\, add the vinegar and 2 teaspoons salt. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil. The mixture will turn bright orange or dark pink and become smooth and emulsified\, like a salad dressing. If it still seems watery\, drizzle in more olive oil until texture is creamy.\n\n\nStep 3 – Strain the mixture through a strainer or a food mill\, pushing all the liquid through with a spatula or the back of a ladle. Discard the solids. Transfer to a large pitcher (preferably glass) and chill until very cold\, at least 6 hours or overnight.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStep 4  – Before serving\, adjust the seasonings with salt and vinegar. If soup is very thick\, stir in a few tablespoons ice water. Serve in glasses\, over ice if desired\, or in a bowl. A few drops of olive oil on top are a nice touch.\n\n\n\n\nHealth and Safety Information\nIn order to protect the the quality of our KindSoup program\, we ask that volunteers conscientiously observe the following guidelines: \n\nStart with clean hands and wash again frequently as needed throughout the cooking process.\nStart with clean kitchen surfaces and utensils (antibacterial wipes do a great job).\nKeep longer hair tied back.\nFollow other common sense procedures\, such as never returning a tasting spoon to the pot!\n\nThank you for maintaining a high cleanliness standard for our KindSoup donations! \nHow to Donate Your KindSoup\nSeal containers with a tight lid and freeze.
