A Spanish Picnic with Alvalle Gazpacho and a Vegan Potatas Bravas Recipe

You probably know that I’m an incredibly lucky girl and my husband and I have a little flat in the Pyrenees. And although I haven’t had the chance to spend much time there this year due to work commitments I yearn for the beautiful mountain view, warm sun and of course the food.

In Spain eating a plant-based diet is easy in cool cities like Barcelona but in the mountains the cuisine is much more meat based which can be a little more challenging. But there are always lovely fresh salads, potatas bravas and my favourite tomato bread. And of course one of my favourite things is gazpacho – so when Alvalle asked me to try their wonderful, fresh gazpacho and then create a little taste of Spain in my garden I jumped at the chance.

For my little Spanish feast I made some tomato bread, a big salad, olives of course and some potatas bravas with my own spicy vegan tomato aioli. See recipe below!

When combined with Gazpacho I think it makes the perfect healthy and delicious meal.

Alvalle Gazpacho tastes so fresh, it’s bursting with flavour and is made from 100% Spanish vegetables. The ingredients include; selected tomatoes, red peppers, cucumbers, extra virgin olive oil and other fresh ingredients all sourced directly from Southern Spain.
