Cucumber Herb Gazpacho with Watermelon Croutons recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 medium cucumbers chopped, peeled and seeded
  • 50 g (2 oz) crustless sourdough bread, torn into small pieces
  • 250 ml (9 oz) water
  • 1 tbs white wine vinegar
  • 2 tsp Thai fish Sauce
  • 1 tsp mirin
  • 1/2 tsp Schwartz Dill
  • 100 g (4 oz) cubed watermelon
  • 25 g (1 oz) red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tbs olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp Schwartz Mint
  • 1 tbs creme fraiche
  • Schwartz Black Peppercorns to taste

This modern take on a favorite chilled soup is the ultimate refresher. A mellow, Asian-inspired cucumber base has fresh hints of mint and dill. Juicy watermelon “croutons” bring out the soup’s subtle sweetness.

Method

Step 1

Place cucumber, bread, water, vinegar, fish sauce, mirin and Dill in blender, cover and blend until coarsely pureed. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until chilled.

Step 2

Mix watermelon, onion, oil and mint in small bowl until well blended. Pour gazpacho into shallow bowls. Place a spoonful of watermelon mixture in center of gazpacho. Top with a dollop of crème fraîche. Serve with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
