GAZPACHO MANCHEGOThe “Gazpacho Manchego” is a typical recipe of Castilla La Mancha, sometimes people confuse it with “Gazpacho Andaluz”, but they are totally different, as the “Gazpacho Andaluz” is a cold drink and the “Gazpacho Manchego” is a hot meal.
I´m from Albacete and my family has always cooked this dish, next I´m describing you how to prepare this delicious dish, first of all the ingredients are:
- - ½ Rabbit
- - ½ Chicken
- - 1 Partridge
- - 1 Garlic
- - ½ Green Pepper
- - 2 tomatoes
- - 2 Bay leaf
- - 1 Onion
- - Black pepper
- -“Torta para gazpachos”.It's the main ingredient of this recipe, is similar to the Italian “pasta” and is necessary to give some consistency to the meal.
- . Mushrooms
Preparation
Step one: Cut up the rabbit, the tomatoes, the partridge and the green pepper into pieces and peel the garlic.
Step two: Cut the “torta” into small pieces and put it in a small saucepan with water and heat it up
Step three: In a fry pan with oil fry for about two or three minutes the rabbit and the partridge, then add the bay leaf , the garlic, the tomatoes and the green pepper and fry it about five or ten minutes too.
