6 Minute Meal & A Deal. Alicia Vitarelli reports during Action News Mornings on August 1, 2018.

In this week's 6 Minute Meal and a Deal, Alicia Vitarelli heads to Oloroso for an Andalusian-style Gazpacho recipe.



The Meal:



Oloroso Chef/Owner Townsend Wentz' Andalusian-style Gazpacho



Ingredients:


1 Tomato, cored and rough chopped


1 Cucumber, peeled


Chef Tip: The skin can add an unwanted bitterness so the chef recommends peeling


1/2 Roasted Red Pepper, cleaned


Chef Tip: You can substitute raw red bell pepper


1 Red Onion


Chef Tip: Your chopping on all of the vegetables can be really rough as everything is going into the blender or food processor.


1 cup bread


Chef Tip: Use leftover, without the crust. The chef uses a sourdough cooked in his wood-fired oven



cup extra virgin olive oil


Basil leaves


Sherry vinegar to taste


Piment d'Espelette to taste


Chef Tip: This is a smoky pepper spice the chef says is a good addition to your spice cabinet as he uses it on virtually everything


Salt to taste



Put everything but the basil in your blender or food processor.


Puree, pour into a bowl and finish with a drizzle of olive oil, another sprinkle of Piment d'Espelette, rough torn fresh basil leaves and salt to taste.



Chef Tip: If you want to add more texture to the soup, mix all of your ingredients the night before or that morning to allow the bread time to soak. Puree right before serving.



Chef Tip: This is a classic version of the recipe. You can adjust the ingredients according to the season and by what you have on hand. The chef sometimes uses honeydew melon or cherries as a substitute for the tomatoes and peppers. The flavor profile is fresh, ripe and sweet.



The Deal:



Dine at Oloroso Sunday, August 5th-Thursday, August 9th and you can get a free draft Spanish sherry or draft cider with an entree purchase. Just tell them you saw this feature on 6abc.
