Cold Almond and Grape Soup<\/p>\n
This Andalucian treat is to be found around Marbella, on the south coast of Spain. Traditionally prepared with a mortar and pestle, we now have the modern convenience of the blender, which makes this quite easy to prepare. A wonderful cold soup for those lazy summer days, perfect for lunch around the pool or in the garden.<\/p>\n
Ingredients:<\/p>\n
1 cup slivered almonds<\/p>\n
2 or three cloves of garlic, peeled<\/p>\n
salt to taste<\/p>\n
\u00bc cup olive oil<\/p>\n
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar<\/p>\n
2 cups water<\/p>\n
\u00bd pound green grapes, seedless if possible, if not slice them and take out the seeds<\/p>\n
Put the almonds, garlic, and olive oil in the blender, and blend until a smooth puree is formed. Add the vinegar and blend until creamy. Pour into a large bowl, and stir in the water and ice cubes.
