Hi friend. hahahahaha, it's weird to see these words so Andalusian, hahahaha. Where are you from?
I am from America , but almost every year i visit Seville where i have many friends from the APC. Maybe i know you and we are not aware. I have been on several meetings from the club since Lolo was the president and now with Ramon. Certainly there is a very nice group of smokers there. From where in Andalusia you are?

Hello my friend. What a nice surprise. I am from the province of Almeria, the mythical land of the Spaghetti western. I'm glad you know my land, and write that perfect Andalusian language. Greetings sir. fce500dae16ac2959e5a0fd5575f1cb32bead771.jpg

Soak the mung beans for 20 minutes on a high fire overnight, cool down and add some sugar. Really good drink.

Ingredients- Wow. This is a very tasty sauce. I think it originates from the Tarragona area of Spain.
4 ripe tomatoes
2 dried red "goat horn" peppers
3 cloves of garlic
1 teaspoon of Paprika sweet paprika
½ slice toasted bread
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
4 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
30 g unsalted toasted hazelnuts
30 g unsalted toasted almonds
Salt and pepper to taste
Elaboration step by step
The first step is to place the tomatoes and garlic on a baking sheet, spread a little olive oil on the surface and place in a preheated oven at 220 ° C with heat up and down for 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove these ingredients from the oven, let them cool a little so as not to burn and remove all the skin from the tomatoes.
The next step is to remove all the pulp from the peppers getting rid of the skin, then add it in the glass of an electric mixer (manuajunto with peeled tomatoes, garlic cloves, paprika, 1 tablespoon of oil, vinegar, pepper and salt to taste.
We are going to process everything incorporating little by little the oil as we obtain the texture we want, add the bread in small pieces, the almonds and the hazelnuts. Continue processing until a firm, thick consistency is achieved.
Finally, adjust the salt and pepper to your liking. Romesco sauce is perfect to enjoy with vegetables, pasta, seafood, fish and meats.
Romesco sauce is like a tomato and red pepper pesto that is legit on fish, primarily red fish and snapper.

Highly recommend the pairing. Good recipe to boot, but can be stripped down to the vegetables, nuts, garlic and olive oil.

By the way, as a large American, I love food and food threads.

Hi guys. Now that the heat is getting stronger. I wanted to make known, this refreshing drink. A very nutritious and healthy drink, very easy to prepare, and I'm sure you will like it very much. It is typical here in my land Andalucia. It is called Gazpacho Andaluz.

ingredients for 4 people:
1kg ripe tomato
1 green bell pepper
1/2 onion (optional)
1 clove of garlic (you can use 2 if you like it strong)
1/2 cucumber
1/2 red bell pepper (optional)
50g of bread (if you let it dry for a couple of days it is better)
25ml vinegar
45ml oil
250ml water
Salt to taste
Easy traditional andalusian gazpacho recipe
Although this is the traditional gazpacho recipe, many people do not use onion or red bell pepper, because they do not like it. We like it better with them, but maybe you like it softer, so we recommend you to try them.

Wash the tomatoes, the 2 peppers and the cucumber.
Cut and chop all the ingredients. It is not necessary to cut them too small, as the blender or food processor you use will surely have enough power. Just peel the onion and garlic clove, tomatoes and peppers is not necessary because at the end we will strain the gazpacho.
Add the chopped ingredients, vinegar, oil and water in the glass.
Blend for 5 minutes at maximum speed. It is important that you blend all the ingredients well so that it has a smooth liquid texture, otherwise there will be lumps.
Taste if it is to your liking and add salt, oil or vinegar if necessary. The first few times you prepare it, it will be a little difficult to find the right point to the gazpacho, so it is better to try it and correct it while blending it.
Strain the gazpacho very well with a fine strainer. In this way, we will remove the skins and possible lumps that may have remained after blending.
Leave in the refrigerator for 1 hour to cool.
Enjoy a refreshing, delicious and nutritious Andalusian gazpacho.

I’ve had something similar at a local tapas place run by a Spaniard. It was fantastic! I don’t know if it’s traditional to do so, but some olive oil poured on top was delicious
