Salmorejo is one of the culinary jewels of Andalusian cuisine, a cold soup perfect for hot summer days. This dish, originally from Cordoba, is characterised by its smooth, creamy texture and intense flavour, courtesy of the extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), which is an essential ingredient. Below, we show you how to prepare a traditional salmorejo that will win over all your guests. 🌿
Ingredients
🍅 1kg red, ripe tomato
🧄 2 cloves garlic
🥖200g breadcrumbs
30g sherry vinegar
150g Arbequina EVOO
1 tbsp. fine salt
Elaboration
1. Preparation of the tomatoes: Wash the tomatoes well and cut them into quarters. It is not necessary to peel them, as they will then be passed through a sieve or a chinois to remove the skins and seeds.
2. Initial blending: Place the tomatoes in a blender or food processor and puree.
3. Añadir el Ajo: Pela el diente de ajo y añádelo a la mezcla. La cantidad de ajo puede ajustarse según tu gusto personal; un diente de ajo suele ser suficiente para darle ese toque característico sin dominar el sabor.
4. Incorporación del Pan y el Vinagre: Corta el pan en trozos pequeños y añádelo al puré de tomate. Deja que el pan se empape bien durante unos minutos para que se ablande y añade el vinadre.
5. Emulsión del AOVE: Añade el AOVE poco a poco mientras continúas batiendo la mezcla. Este paso es crucial, ya que el AOVE no solo aporta sabor sino que también ayuda a emulsionar el salmorejo, dándole su textura cremosa distintiva. No olvides añadir una pizca de sal al gusto.
6. Servir y Decorar: Sirve el salmorejo bien frío en cuencos individuales. Para la decoración, desmenuza el huevo duro y corta el jamón serrano en pequeñas tiras o taquitos. Espolvorea ambos sobre cada cuenco de salmorejo antes de servir.
