It is a cold soup made of bread, ground almonds, garlic, water, olive oil and salt. That’s all? Yes, indeed! With just a few ingredients, you can create a delicious and light soup that can also be decorated with extra garnish: grapes or pieces of melon. Undoubtedly, an original recipe that is worth trying, if you haven’t done it yet.
Flamenco-style eggs
We could not leave behind one of the infallible classics of Mediterranean cuisine: Huevos a la Flamenca. In this case, and as it happens with other recipes, each master has his own recipe and way of preparing this. The bases of this recipe are always clear, since this dish is cooked with eggs and vegetables. However, each cook adapts the recipe to his or her own taste. You can add cubed ham or Iberian chorizo to enhance the flavour even more. An ideal option if we want to take advantage of the culinary roots that we have inherited from the Spanish land.
