Julia's Mum's Salmorejo Cordobés

Salmorejo


Ingredients:

(based on four people as a starter)

* 8 tomatoes
* big handful of old, crusty bread
* 1 cup olive oil
* a splash of vinagre
* 1 garlic clove (or more to taste)
* salt & pepper
* 1 egg




Method:

1. Blend the peeled tomatoes.
2. Add the oil and a splash or vinagre
3. Add the salt, pepper, bread and garlic. Blend again.
4. Add the egg to the mixture and continue to blend
5. Taste the salmorejo, adding more garlic, salt, etc. to your taste.


Extra Tips:

* TOPPINGS are just as important as the salmorejo. You would never have a salmorejo without a boiled egg or Spanish ham (jamon) But other alternatives are apple, celery or whatever you feel like.
* Don't use too much vinegar. In large quantities it's very bad for you!
* As long as you taste as you go along you really cant go wrong with this really simple Spanish dish
*Many people choose not to use a raw egg in their Salmorejo. From our experience it tastes just as good with or without.
