It's not exactly cooking

Well, this is predominantly a food site, even if I am using it to blog about spending a couple of months in Spain.

All you really need is a blender and a fridge. It's very beautiful after a day or so when things like raw onion have calmed down a bit (less of a problem with the sweet white onions they have here. Use spring onions rather than the brown ones we have at home).

Method

Soak a piece of white bread in a little bit of veg stock and when it's soft, add it to a blender with the rest of the stock, the onion, garlic...everything except the tomato pasata - and blend it to a puree.

Add the pasata, olive oil and sherry vinegar and a bit of salt and pepper and mix it together.

Put it in the fridge and eat it the next day

It's usually garnished with chopped peppers, onions, cucumber and tomatoes, it's up to you

Spanish

Spanish has three nationalities: British, Irish and Australian due to a series of accidents. Spanish is not one of them,

Mark was born in Australia in 1966 and has lived on a damp, cold island off the coast of France (the locals call it "Blighty") since 1970. Educated in the State School System (proudly), his teachers unanimously agreed he had raised indolence and mediocrity to world-class levels.

In sport, he excelled at outrunning the bigger kids to avoid a regular hiding. These traits have seen him through several aimless career changes and now, in his 50s, he finds himself wondering what he will do when he grows up.

But, he loves his family and he can cook a bit.
