Mango-jalapeño gazpacho shots
Vegetable soup
Spanish cuisine
I woke up dreaming of this recipe. It's unlikely that mangoes, native to India, were enjoyed in Andalusia, birthplace of gazpacho. But the smooth, sweet golden flesh of the mango is a natural fit for a cooling soup on hot summer days. The classic gazpacho has few ingredients: tomato, cucumber, pepper, onion, garlic, salt, vinegar, stale bread, and water. In this recipe, I've stayed close to the original (if it ain't broke...), swapping out the tomato for another fruit, mango, spicing it up just a little with the slow burn of jalapeño, and used yellow instead of green bell pepper to keep this gazpacho mango-hued. I've also omitted the stale bread, which is traditionally used to thicken gazpacho, as mango naturally thickens when puréed. I serve my mango-jalapeño gazpacho in some gorgeous Moroccan tea glasses that were given to me as a gift, but any clear shot glasses will do. ¡Buen provecho!
