Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Corn: Husk fresh sweet corn cobs and cut the kernels off the cobs. Scrape the cobs to gather any leftover pulp.
- Chop the Vegetables: Peel and deseed the cucumber, then dice it. Deseed and chop the yellow bell pepper. Slice and deseed jalapeno if using.
- Combine Ingredients in a Blender: Add the corn kernels, pulp, cucumber, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, shallot, garlic, and optional jalapeno to a blender. Add olive oil, lemon juice, sherry vinegar, and kosher salt.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high until smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Adjust thickness with olive oil or cold water if necessary.
- Chill for Maximum Flavor: Transfer the gazpacho to an airtight container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
- Garnish and Serve: Stir the gazpacho, taste for seasoning, and adjust if needed. Serve in bowls or glasses garnished with reserved corn, cherry tomatoes, basil, and drizzle of basil oil.
