If you are inviting five friends, you will
need the following ingredients:

• Tomatoes (1 kg)
• Stale bread (around 200 g)
• Virgin olive oil (10-12 tablespoons)
• Garlic (half a clove)
• A pinch of salt
• One hard-boiled egg
• Iberian cured ham, diced

Crush and blend the tomatoes and use a sieve to remove the skin and the seeds. This will give your “salmorejo” a perfect texture.

Now leave the bread to soak in the tomatoes for about ten minutes before blending the mixture again.

Meanwhile, add the olive oil and the clove of garlic and watch how the ingredients begin to form a thick, delicious soup.

You’re almost there. Check the seasoning and serve the “salmorejo” in a bowl. Cover with the chopped boiled egg and the diced ham and there you are!
