What is Salmorejo Cordobes?

Most people maybe not familiar with gazpacho cousins that are thicker and more creamy. While gazpacho is cold tomato and vegetable soup (often consumed directly from a glass like V8 juice), salmorejo uk is just fresh tomato and maybe clove garlic, mixed with stale bread, extra olive oil, and sherry vinegar. The way olive oil and emulsifying tomatoes give cream soups makes many people think that there is actually cream in the soup! Most people top cold soup with boiled eggs and cured Spanish ham, which I would definitely recommend!

Ingredients of how to Make Spanish Salmorejo

• 8 Tomatoes (better tomatoes quality will give a better taste of Salmorejo)
• 1 Baguette
• 1 cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (again, better quality give better taste)
• 1 Clove of Garlic
• A Splash of Sherry Vinegar (Vinagre de Jerez, can be substituted red wine vinegar)
• A Pinch of Salt
• 2 Hard Boiled Eggs

Instructions of How to Cook Spanish Salmorejo Cordobes

1. Scald the Tomatoes: Put a large pot of salted water on the stove and then wait until it boiled. Cut a small cross in the bottom of each tomato to remove the parts that are not needed. When the water is boiling put the tomatoes to the pot for 40-60 seconds. And then removie it immediately and place it in cold water (bowls filled with ice and cold water). The skin will peel directly from the tomatoes.
2. First Blend: Cut the tomato core and put the rest of it to your blender. Blend it at high speed for about 35 seconds until the tomatoes are broken.
3. Add bread: Take all the "gut" out from your baguette and add them to the blended tomatoes. The Baguette should give about 2-3 cups of guts and you can experiment with how much you can add, because this is how you change the texture. For me, I use about 2 cups of guts. And then let the bread soak in tomato juice for about 4-5 minutes.
4. Second Blend: Add a splash of vinegar, salt, and garlic. Then blend all of them until the soup becomes evenly distributed and the bread is completely broken down.
5. Add The Olive Oil: If your blender has a small hole on the top, add the olive oil slowly while you are blending with medium speed. If there are no holes in your blender, stop the blender first and add the olive oil little by little.
6. Add Eggs and Adjust: Add 1 hard boiled egg and blend until mixed. Taste it and adjust the levels of vinegar, salt, bread, and garlic.
7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Salmorejo Cordobes in a small bowl with boiled eggs that cut into cube and sliced ham as seasoning. Serve when cold! and Enjoy!
