Ajo Blanco

Created by All Foods Natural, Friday, 05 October 2007

Description

Ajo blanco comes from Malaga and it is one of the many gazpacho soups found in Spain. If you feel you would like to try preparing it in the traditional way, do everything in the same order, but use mortar and pestle. Put the paste in a big bowl before adding water. This cold soup is a natural source of E vitamin from the olive oil and almonds.
