Ingredients
- 1 large poblano chili
- 2 1/2 lb. beefsteak tomatoes
- extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 Kirby cucumber
- 1/2 red or yellow bell pepper
- 3 Tbsp. minced red onion
- 1/2 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
- 2 Tbsp. chopped parsley
Directions
- Step 1Preheat grill to high heat. Grill poblano, turning, until charred all over. Transfer to a plate and let cool. Brush cut sides of tomatoes with oil and grill, cut sides down, until marks appear, about 4 minutes. Using a metal spatula, turn tomatoes and cook over medium heat until soft and bubbling, about 3 minutes. Transfer tomatoes to a large, shallow dish; when cool enough to handle, lift skins off and discard.
- Step 2Remove charred skin from poblano and discard. Slice poblano in half and discard seeds, then cut into 1/3-inch dice.
- Step 3Working in the dish, lightly chop the tomatoes and transfer them, along with juices, to a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Purée tomatoes, then transfer to a large bowl. Stir in poblano, cucumber, bell pepper, onion, and lemon zest; cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 25 minutes or up to overnight.
- Step 4Just before serving, season gazpacho with salt and black pepper and stir in parsley. Ladle gazpacho into bowls, drizzle with oil, and serve.
