Ajo blanco con uvas
As it's Summer, cold soups would seem to the the order of the day. So here is a variation on the traditional Andalucian white garlic soup with grapes.
8oz day old bread (no crusts)
8oz ground almonds
2-3 cloves garlic
5 fl oz olive oil (extra virgin)
5 tbsp wine vinegar
2 tsp salt
1.5 pints water
5-6 oz white grapes, deseeded
The bread should be soaked in water until it is soft, then squeezed out and placed in a blender/food processor with almonds and garlic. Blend with a little water until it is a smooth paste, then with the motor running, drizzle in the olive oil slowly. Add vinegar and salt. Add more salt is necessary then stir in the remaining water.
Check for seasoning, adding more salt and vinegar to taste. Chill thoroughly. Serve in individual bowls with halved grapes and a couple of ice cubes. Serves 4-6, depending how hungry you are, how greedy you are, or how delicious you think it is......
