Ingredients
For the gazpacho
- 1 Lililup melon
- 85g green pepper
- 135g cucumber
- 30g EVOO
- 55g onion
- Salt
For the asparagus
- 4 fresh white asparagus spears
- Water with salt and sugar (5g of each per litre of water)
For the vinaigrette
- 50g green pepper
- 30g red pepper
- 40g onion
- Fresh coriander
- 25g EVOO
- 20g sherry vinegar
- Salt
Preparation
- First we cook the white asparagus. For this, we tie them together and stand them vertically in a pan with water, salt and sugar to prevent the tips from cooking. We will cook them in this position for 20-25 minutes, depending on the thickness.
- Once we can easily pass through the stem with a knife, we lie them down, untie them and cook the whole asparagus for 5 minutes.
- Turn the heat off and leave the asparagus in the hot water for another 5 minutes. It is important to cook the asparagus with a small amount of sugar to prevent them from turning bitter.
- While the asparagus is cooking, we’ll prepare the green gazpacho. Put all the ingredients in a blender and blend until you have a fine mixture with no lumps. Sample and season with salt. Put in the fridge to serve cold.
- Prepare the vinaigrette for the asparagus, cutting all the vegetables in brunoise, in other words, in very small squares. Put them in a pot and dress with salt, EVOO and vinegar. Mix well and add chopped coriander to taste.
- Cut the asparagus into bite-sized pieces. Serve the green gazpacho in a bowl, garnish with the asparagus, a few spoons of vinaigrette and enjoy!
