Gochujang Gazpacho Recipes

Steps:

• Steam the clams and chop the vegetables: In a skillet, add the clams and ½ cup water. Cover and turn heat to high. Steam just until the shells pop open, then chill. Meanwhile, core and chop the tomatoes, peel and chop the cucumber, and add to a food processor. Chop the onion, pepper, and garlic, and add to the food processor. Pulse to combine and just break down the vegetables (you want a chunky texture).
• To the chopped vegetables, add the gochujang, orange zest and juice, lemon juice, sherry vinegar and salt and pulse to combine. Taste to adjust seasoning, then add lemon juice and salt as needed. Add freshly chopped parsley and dill. Pulse again while slowly drizzling in olive oil. Check again for seasoning, add freshly ground black pepper to taste, and chill about 1 hour. (Note: Gazpacho needs to be chilled for 1 hour before serving.)
• Assemble and serve: Ladle chilled gazpacho into a serving bowl. Garnish with chilled (shelled) clams, reserved clam juice, olive oil, mint, and sea salt. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Pulse 1 1/2 cups tomato, 1/4 cup cucumber, orange zest and juice, garlic, onion, bell pepper, gochujang, dill, parsley, lemon juice, vinegar, ginger, and salt in a blender until coarsely chopped. Drizzle in oil while pulsing until mixture is combined but not totally smooth.
• Divide gazpacho between 2 bowls and garnish with remaining tomato and cucumber. Top with mint.
• Gazpacho can be made up to 2 days in advance and refrigerated. Wait to garnish until ready to serve.

Steps:

• 1. In a bowl, reserve 2 tablespoons each of the tomato, cucumber, pepper, and onion to garnish.
• 2. In the food processor or blender, purée the remaining ingredients (except the croutons) until smooth, adjusting the seasoning to taste with lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper.
• 3. Cover and chill thoroughly, at least 3 hours but preferably overnight. Adjust the consistency as desired with water. Serve in chilled bowls garnished with the reserved vegetables and croutons.

Steps:

• Whisk gochujang, green onions, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, sesame seeds, sugar, ginger, and sesame oil together in a bowl until smooth.
