Gazpacho Andaluz classic with prawn skewer
The classic Gazpacho Andaluz - made from ripe tomatoes, cucumber, red peppers, garlic, olive oil and sherry vinegar - is the epitome of Andalusian summer cuisine. Raw, cold, ready in 20 minutes. The grilled prawn skewer on top gives the soup a warm grill component and maritime depth. The Manzanilla DO Jerez from Sanlúcar de Barrameda, with its Andalusian salty freshness, almond bread aroma and bone-dry elegance, is the only consistent local wine partner for this summer classic.
