Green Gazpacho with Tuna and Tomato Spheres _ Recipe from La Sucursal Restaurant

2025-07-29T17:43:15+02:00

It is said that gazpacho was once a humble dish, created by shepherds and farmers to cool off and make use of whatever ingredients they had on hand. Today, it still serves that purpose — hence the countless versions and creative adaptations. In this recipe, chef Fran Espí —head of the kitchen at La Sucursal the elegant restaurant located inside Veles e Vents in the port of València— elevates this summer classic into a refined experience, full of technique and contrasts. His take turns the gazpacho green and pairs it with frozen tomato spheres — a visual and temperature

At Todolí Citrus Fundació, we believe in the transformative power of education and the value of shared knowledge. That’s why it has been a pleasure to collaborate with the García-Ibáñez Group in organising the specialised courses on pruning and grafting recently held at our facilities. The García-Ibáñez Group contributed their teaching experience, organisational skills and a highly practical approach, while we at the Foundation provided the space and agricultural resources, creating a synergy we hope to repeat in future editions. The theoretical sessions took place in our gastronomic laboratory, a versatile space that functions both as a

And he answered me briefly but forcefully: because he had too much respect
