Carol Gullidge Jul 31, 2020:
In this instance, With the Mohama de atún, it seems more likely to be an emulsion with a creamy texture than a soup
Taña Dalglish Jul 31, 2020:
https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2017/07/ajo-blanco-spani... The recipe here describes it as a chilled gazpacho.
Sonia Maria (asker) Jul 31, 2020:
I was just having a look at the recipe, which turns to be a new interpretation of the traditional ajoblanco. They add coconut milk to the ingredients and then the mixture is emulsified . At the end of the recipe they obtain a kind of thick cream. So I'm not sure that soup should be right in this context.

@Sonia Are you quite sure that this in fact a soup and not an emulsion?

but not "soup" in this context as Carol points out
Peer comment(s):
agree Reuben Wright : Here it is not soup, it is sauce for the tuna, the main attraction. "Rich" is definitely more appetizing than "emulsified" or "thickened".

thanks Reuben
agree Adrian MM. : Funny - I used to go to a restaurante gallego, both in Madrid and Palma de Majorca, but can't remember this one.

thanks Adrian and I'd never come across it before either although I've been all over Spain many times
agree Isamar : Yes, it would be strange as a soup here. Agree with Reuben about the use of 'rich' as well, although 'velvety' might also work if you know that the sauce is very smooth.

"ajoblanco" white garlic cream with coconut milk

Sin una foto o más contexto o un aporte suplementario del mismo cocinero sobre la cantidad de cada uno de los elementos en este plato especifico, me parece que estas alturas es cuestión de preferencia.

Son dos productos típicos de España con un sabor particular:"
mojama" (salt-cured tuna) y el "ajoblanco" (cold garlic cream soup with nuts and grapes).

Se parece a una receta de Alberto Chicote que usa el tataki de atún y una salsa o espuma con los ingredientes y sabores del ajoblanco (referencias), pero aquí me parece que el atún es el centro del plato, y el ajoblanco el acompañamiento.

Se ha combinado los ingredientes del ajoblanco con un toque de coco en una emulsión, por eso tendría que ser en forma liquida, entonces es leche de coco.
https://www.semana.es/receta/atun-con-ajoblanco-de-coco/

Como el atún y es el ingrediente más caro y está seguido por "***y su*** ajoblanco" creo que sería unas lonchas presentadas sobre una cama de salsa ajoblanco o con la salsa al lado.

Ciertas palabras no son muy "vendedores" para una carta (ie. "gravy"), y "emulsion" me parece más bien cientifico que vendedor. Depende, si es un restaurante de alta gastronomía como el Bullit, se podría usar. En este caso;
[emulsion of "ajoblanco" white garlic cream and coconut milk]

Creo que lo más importante sería de mencionar los productos que son especialidades locales y todos los sabores de una manera que abra el apetito y en inglés "coconut cream" hace pensar en una tarta, el atún se asocia mejor con una salsa de ajo con on toque de leche de coco;

"mojama" salt-cured tuna
"Raf azul" tomatoes,
"ajoblanco" with coconut milk
Example sentence:

Cubes of Tarantelo (the slender end piece of the white loin of tuna) with ajoblanco white garlic cream

I've actually found the exact description from "Cocina Atlántica" and the way it is prepared:
https://cocinaatlantica.com/especialidad/tomate-raf-y-azul-c...
RAF and blue tomatoes with red tuna mojama and coconut and-blue-tomatoe... https://cocinaatlantica.com/speciality/raf-and-blue-tomatoes...
Speciality: RAF and blue tomatoes with red tuna mojama and coconut ajoblanco
The tomatoes are first marinaded in extra virgin Picual olive oil with a little balsamic vinegar. Afterwards, the ajoblanco is prepared, emulsifying coconut milk, cow’s milk, sesame oil, Hojiblanca olive oil, Modena vinegar, toasted almonds and peeled garlic. On the plate, a thin sheet of red tuna mojama is placed on top of the oil-hydrated tomato. Finally, at the table, in front of the customer, the ajoblanco is added and topped with grated almonds.



Wiki describes "ajoblanco" as a cold soup:
Ajoblanco - Wikipediaen.wikipedia.org › wiki › Ajoblanco
Ajoblanco (sometimes written ajo blanco) is a popular Spanish cold soup typical from Granada and Málaga (Andalusia). This dish is made of bread, crushed almonds, garlic, water, olive oil, salt and sometimes vinegar. It is usually served with grapes or slices of melon.



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mojama
Mojama (in Spain; Mosciame in Italy) is a mediterranean delicacy consisting of filleted salt-cured tuna, typical from Huelva and Cádiz (Spain).

Ajo Blanco (Spanish Chilled "White Gazpacho" Bread and Almond Soup) Recipe
Sometimes called "white gazpacho," this elegant cold soup is thickened with almonds and bread and brightened with a splash of sherry vinegar.
Peer comments on this reference comment:
neutral Reuben Wright : As always, your links are most useful; "ajoblanco" is indeed "white gazpacho" but here it is being used to inspire a sauce to flavour a main dish, which is the tuna.

If you look at the photograph, I am afraid it is not a sauce either (yet you have an agree on another prop. and your comment does not match). Sauce/gravy is not consistent with the descrip. of the dish (first link describes the method)./Would use hearty.

Creo que esta receta se inspira por una de Alberto Chicote; en lugar de tataki de atún aquí se usa mojama de atún y con (o en lugar de) uvas para acompañar el ajoblanco, ponen el tomate Raf azul.
Thank you Taña, I rectified my incongruent “agree”. :)

La presentación varia pero el ajoblanco tendría que estar mas espeso como lo preparan en el enlace de lolacoci.

No se describe como “ajoblanco con su mojama de atún” por eso el plato es el atún “y su” acompañamiento.
