Ingredients
- 1 kg of very ripe tomatoes
- 180 g stale light white bread without a hard crust
- 120 ml extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small clove of garlic
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 hard-boiled eggs
- 80 g Serrano ham in strips
Instructions
- Wash the tomatoes, cut them roughly and puree them finely in the blender. If you want a finer texture, strain through a sieve.
- Tear white bread into pieces and let it soften in the tomato puree for 10 minutes.
- Add garlic and salt, mix very finely again. Meanwhile, slowly add the olive oil until a uniform, light red emulsion is formed.
- Cool for at least 90 minutes. Hard-boil eggs, peel and chop, finely chop Serrano.
- Place cold Salmorejo in bowls, garnish each with egg, ham and a few drops of olive oil.
Tips
- Slowly add the oil; It creates the typical creamy consistency without cream.
- Light stale baguette replaces Spanish Telera bread. Offer vegetarian without ham only as a variation.
