Summer Recipes from the Azaelea

Glenapp Castle hotel on the west coast of Scotland opened its glasshouse Azalea restaurant in the walled gardens this summer to rave reviews including Tim Gow, Sunday Times' food critic. Partnering with the chefs using produce grown from the gardens we curated two easy summer recipes to make with the new and delightfully quiet Quiet Mark certified Panasonic blender, super healthy classics, bursting with flavor, and absolutely delicious!

 Ingredients:

  • Ripe Tomatoes
  • Green Pepper
  • Cucumber
  • Onion
  • Diced Red Pepper
  • Olive Oil
  • Vinegar
  • Garlic
  • Salt
     

Step 1:  Roughly chop the tomatoes. Cut the pepper into smaller pieces. Quarter the onion. Peel and halve the garlic, removing the center core, which can add bitterness to the gazpacho.

Step 2:  Add the tomatoes to the blender first since they have the most juice and will make it easier for the blender to combine the ingredients. Next, add the pepper. Put in the onion and garlic. Add the cucumber. Blend until smooth and well combined.

Step 3:  Season with salt first. Add the sherry vinegar next. While the blender is running, slowly incorporate the olive oil so it emulsifies. Finally, check the taste and texture and add some ice-cold water if you want.

Step 4:  Pour the gazpacho into glasses, or serve it in bowls with toppings on the side. Don't forget a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt right before eating, delicious !
