Salmorejo Recipe
This Salmorejo Recipe is a classic cold tomato soup from Córdoba, Spain. It's made of simple, healthy and fresh ingredients and is so flavorful!
Servings 4 People, as a main (about 6 1/2 cups total)
Ingredients
- 8 Medium Tomatoes
- 1 Medium baguette
- 1 Cup Good quality olive oil
- 1 Clove Garlic
- 1 Splash red wine vinegar (I thought it needed a few good splashes)
- 1 Pinch of salt (I thought it needed a few large pinches)
- 2 Hard boiled eggs
- Sliced Serrano Ham OR Prosciutto
Instructions
- Scald the tomatoes: Put a large pot of salted water on the stove and bring to a boil. Cut a small cross in the bottom of each tomato. When the water is boiling add the tomatoes for 30-60 seconds. Remove immediately and place in a cold water bath (a bowl filled with ice and cold water). The skin will peel right off of the tomatoes.
- First Blend: Cut out the cores of the tomatoes and add all the rest to your blender. Blend at high-speed for about 30 seconds until the tomatoes are broken down.
- Add bread: Take all of the "guts" out of your baguette and add them to the blended tomatoes. The baguette should have given about 2-3 cups of guts and you can experiment with how much you add, as this is how you change the texture. I use about 2 cups of the bread guts. Let the bread soak in the tomato juice for about 5 minutes.
- Second Blend: Add the splash of vinegar, salt, and garlic and blend until the soup is an even texture and the bread is completely broken down.
- Add Oil: If your blender has it, open the small hole in the top. Slowly add the olive oil as you are blending at a moderate speed. If it doesn't have the hole, stop and go adding little by little.
- Add Egg and Adjust: Add 1 hardboiled egg and blend until incorporated. Taste and adjust levels of salt, vinegar, garlic, and bread. Cover and chill at LEAST 2 hours, but best overnight.
- Serve in small bowls with diced hardboiled egg and sliced ham as condiments.
