Tip

Recipe contributed by Frank Camorra of Movida.

According to Andy the Bar Manager at Movida, this classic cold soup is “the beach cricket of Spain – it screams summer.” For me, it’s a celebration of the tomato. Real tomatoes. Sweet, tangy tomatoes at their vine-ripened best. Home gardeners with a surplus of late summer tomatoes and a loaf of stale bread will find this a pleasing solution to their oversupply.

 Words of caution however, follow the ingredients and method meticulously as deviations may cause an imbalance of flavours. This is a soup from my family’s home in Cordoba, another reason to treat this dish with great respect.
