Tapas Sampler: Gazpacho, Rosemary Flatbread with Summer Dips & Lamb Meatballs in Sherry Sauce & Almonds

The 2010 Summer is in full swing. The tomatoes season in coming to an end, so our local producer --we do know where our tomatoes come from!--, is supplying us with very ripe and sweet tomatoes. Yesterday it was the hottest day of February in record... so no better occasion to make "Gazpacho", the cold tomato soup, with local tomatoes. In wonderful Moorish Andalusia, Spain, temperatures can get easily as high as 40C in Summer, and Gazpacho and other cold tapas become the favorite tapas.

We served also a freshly baked Rosemary Flatbread with Red Hummus and Artichokes Lemon dips. Finally Minted Lamb meatballs --fresh lamb also from our local provider "Churchills"-- in Sherry and Almonds sauce.
