Part 8/9:
As temperatures rise in southern Spain, especially in hotter regions like Málaga, nothing is more refreshing than a bowl of cold gazpacho. This chilled vegetable soup serves as the perfect antidote to the summer heat. To prepare it, fresh ingredients like onions, cucumbers, bell peppers, tomatoes, and garlic are finely chopped and blended until a smooth puree is achieved. For an extra smooth texture, the mixture is strained through a sieve.
Gazpacho allows for creativity upon serving, where you can add shrimp, pistachios, or even mango sorbet for contemporary twists on the traditional dish. This cool and flavorful soup is a staple that captures the essence of the Spanish summer.
