Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 grams ripe tomatoes
- 150 grams stale bread
- 100 milliliters extra virgin olive oil
- 1 unit garlic clove
- 15 milliliters white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 100 milliliters water
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by washing and roughly chopping the tomatoes. There's no need to peel them.
Peel the garlic clove and set it aside.
In a large bowl, add the stale bread and cover it with 100 milliliters of water to soften. Let it soak for about 10 minutes.
Once the bread is softened, squeeze out the excess water and place the soaked bread into a blender.
Add the chopped tomatoes, garlic clove, and salt to the blender with the bread.
Blend the mixture until it is smooth and well combined.
While the blender is running, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil to emulsify the mixture and create a creamy texture.
Add the white wine vinegar and smoked paprika to the blender, and blend once more to combine all the flavors.
Taste the salmorejo and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or vinegar if needed.
Chill the salmorejo in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to enhance the flavors.
Before serving, stir the salmorejo well and pour it into serving bowls.
Garnish each bowl with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve chilled and enjoy your Vegan Salmorejo!
