This soup is from Cordoba, Spain and has a great similarity with Gazpacho. It is reduced to a few ingredients and contains no cucumber. Salmorejo is also much thicker than the Gazpacho because it contains more bread. A great and intense tomato taste!

This Gazpacho has a more intense coloring than the classic version of the dish. The beetroot gives it an earthy touch that goes well with the tomato, onion, peppers and garlic. I like to season this Gazpacho with a pinch of cayenne pepper.

No wonder this classic Spanish dish can be found throughout Spain. It is delicious. You have to like almonds, garlic and wine though. This dish can be served as Tapa or Meze as well as as main course with fries.

A simple and delicious spanish way of preparing chicken. The toasted pine nuts, the raisins and the wine go perfectly with the chicken. I serve this dish with rice but fried potatoes also go well with it.
