Charred onion and bell pepper give this gazpacho an unusual flavour.

Ingredients

Red onion

1 large, quartered

Bell pepper

1½ cup(s), seeded and quartered (or 1 large)

Plum tomato

8 medium, halved

Garlic

3 clove(s), large, chopped

Fresh lime juice

Table salt

Hot pepper sauce

tsp(s), or to taste (optional)

Instructions

  1. Spray the grill rack with nonstick spray; prepare the grill for medium-hot fire.
  2. Grill the onion and bell pepper 5 inches from heat, until slightly charred on all sides, 8-10 minutes. Grill the tomatoes, turning once, 2-3 minutes.
  3. Combine the onion, bell pepper, tomatoes, garlic, lime juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor; puree.
