Bar La Parra

In Quesa (about 1 hour drive from Valencia, Spain), the village where my husband Marc grew up, there is a very special and authentic delicacy called: Gazpacho Manchego, a delicacy of Spanish shepherds💕 🌟 The origin of Gazpacho Manchego⁉️ Many people must have heard of Gazpacho, a Spanish cold soup, but this delicacy is not as well-known as cold soup. It used to be a dish for Spanish shepherds to survive. A long time ago, shepherds spent weeks walking along their flocks in the mountains inland of Spain in Quesa and nearby areas. They relied on this dish to fill their stomachs at that time 🌟 The shepherds tore the "torta" (flatbread) into pieces and threw it into the pot to cook with the soup. If they hunted animals such as rabbits or chickens, they would also throw them in to cook together. Then they used the flatbread as a plate and put the cooked food on it to eat! At the end, they eat the bread that has absorbed all the flavors 🌟 Now this delicacy has become a highlight of local restaurants✨ The ingredients are simple: 🔴 Torta: a bread made of flour, salt and water, which can be used as an ingredient for stews or eaten alone 🔴 In soup: usually includes torn into small pieces of bread, garlic, pepper, tomato shreds, and then add some meat: chicken, rabbit, lamb or other... add water or canned soup to cook until thick soup 🌟 When I was a child, my family and I would share this delicacy and celebrate my grandmother's birthday every summer at the famous restaurant Bar La Parra in Quesa 📍Bar La Parra: Av.
