Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 grams ripe tomatoes
- 100 grams blanched almonds
- 60 ml extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large garlic clove
- 15 ml white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 hard-boiled eggs
- 50 grams Serrano ham
Instructions
Start by washing the tomatoes thoroughly. Cut them into quarters and remove the core.
Place the tomatoes into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Add the blanched almonds to the tomato puree and blend until the mixture is creamy and smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.
Peel the garlic clove and add it to the mixture along with the white wine vinegar and salt. Blend again until completely integrated.
While the blender is on, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil. This will help emulsify the mixture, giving it a thick, creamy texture.
Taste the salmorejo and adjust the seasoning if necessary with more salt or vinegar.
Chill the salmorejo in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to enhance the flavors.
While the soup chills, cook the hard-boiled eggs and dice them once cooled.
Dice the Serrano ham into small pieces.
When ready to serve, ladle the chilled salmorejo into bowls.
Top the servings with the diced hard-boiled eggs and Serrano ham. Optionally, drizzle a little more olive oil on top for added richness.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
