How to Make White Gazpacho Gazpacho Blanco

  1. Soak 1 cup of almonds in warm water for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. Once the almonds are soaked, drain and dry them. Then, roast them in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until lightly golden brown. Allow them to cool.
  4. In a blender, combine the roasted almonds, 2 cups of water, 2 cloves of garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, creating your almond milk.
  5. Strain the almond milk through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids. Discard the solids or save for another use.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine the almond milk, 1/2 cup good quality olive oil, 1/2 cup crusty bread (cubed), 1/4 cup water (to adjust consistency), and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Blend until well combined and smooth.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more salt, garlic, or water to achieve your preferred flavor and consistency.
  8. Transfer the gazpacho to a bowl or container, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2-4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
  9. Serve chilled in small glasses, optionally garnished with extra virgin olive oil and a few fresh herbs (such as parsley or mint). Enjoy alongside a red gazpacho for a complete Andalusian experience!
