What can we say about cold vegetable soup gazpacho … It is without a doubt one of the most typical and worldwide recognised dishes of Spanish gastronomy, and although there are those who enjoy it throughout the year, it is precisely with the arrival of summer when we most appreciate it. Served chilled, like soup on a plate or in a glass to drink, it is a real pleasure for the senses. Each region of the country presumes its own way of making gazpacho, throwing in some or other ingredients as garnish. Chopped cucumber, tomato, pomegranate, figs, chopped egg … Whatever you want, because the options are practically endless, and the combinations depend on a taste. Have you already tasted the gazpacho with Iberian Finest Iberian Ham Shavings? No? That is precisely why we want today to share with you this particular and exquisite recipe:
