Blend roasted poblano and fresh cucumber and mint for a dazzling and delicious twist on gazpacho.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Roast the poblano pepper directly over a gas burner, turning, until charred all over. (Alternatively, broil the pepper.) Transfer to a cutting board to cool slightly and then peel, seed and chop. Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes; set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Put the mint, cucumbers, lemon juice, oil and garlic mixture and chopped poblano in a blender and puree until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper.
  3. Ladle the gazpacho into 4 small bowls and top evenly with the tomato, chives and crab or shrimp. Drizzle with oil.
