AJO BLANCO (cold soup from southern Spain)

[Guest guest]

Ajo Blanco (Vegan)

 

¾ cup peeled slivered almonds (not toasted)

1 cup diced sourdough old baguette or similar

2 cloves raw garlic

2 tbs olive oil

2 tbs sherry red vine vinegar

salt to taste

 

Soak bread and almonds in water (warm if in a rush) – Blend garlic,

bread and almonds until creamy – add more water if too thick. Add

olive oil, sherry vinegar and salt to taste. Serve very cold.

 

This is traditionally served with peeled green grapes. Somtimes I

sprinkle fresh chives on top.
