Gazpacho Manchego, or Gazpacho Galiano

This dish is an incredibly simple game stew, made with onion, garlic, paprika, and any other ingredient that the cook might have to hand. The meat is deboned and shredded, then mixed with pieces of flat, unleavened bread called tortas cenceñas. These thicken the stew and are an essential ingredient in any true Manchegan gazpacho.

It is sometimes known as Gazpacho Galiano, meaning from Gaul. This stems from the Spanish name—galianas—given to the shepherding routes, so called because the majority ran from south to north (and vice versa) in the direction of Gaul.
