About this recipe
Gazpacho, Patatas Bravas and Churros with Chocolate Coconut Ganache on the Thermomix TM7 bring a full Spanish tapas evening into your kitchen with one all-in-one kitchen machine. This three-course menu starts with a chilled soup made from plum tomatoes, cucumber and pepper, blended with ice cubes into a silky-smooth refreshment that is ideal as a summer starter. Next come the patatas bravas, served with a creamy garlic aioli emulsified directly in the mixing bowl, delivering that classic tapas-bar flavour without any hand whisking. Dessert finishes the journey with golden churros accompanied by a glossy ganache of dark chocolate and coconut cream, gently heated to the ideal consistency for dipping. Searching for recipes that cover a complete festive dinner in a single device makes this menu the answer: the TM7 handles blending, chopping, emulsifying and heating in sequence, so you can serve three courses while washing only one bowl in between.
Preparation tips
- For the gazpacho, use fully ripe plum tomatoes at room temperature; their natural sweetness balances the wine vinegar and means you need less extra virgin olive oil for a round flavour.
- Chill the gazpacho in the fridge for at least an hour before serving and only add the ice cubes while blending, so the soup stays refreshing without becoming watery on the plate.
- Pipe the churro dough directly into hot oil using a sturdy piping bag, and let the ganache of dark chocolate and coconut cream rest briefly so it thickens into an ideal dipping consistency.
- Cut the potatoes for the bravas into even chunks and pat them dry before frying, so they develop a crispy exterior while staying fluffy inside under the spicy sauce.
Recipe variations
- Make the entire menu vegan by confirming your dark chocolate is plant-based; the ganache already relies on coconut cream, and the churro dough works beautifully with olive oil instead of butter.
- For a festive winter version, serve the gazpacho warm-spiced with a pinch of smoked paprika and swap the churros for bite-sized portions dusted with cinnamon sugar at a holiday drinks party.
