Ingredients

• 800 grams ripe tomatoes
• 150 grams gluten-free bread
• 2 garlic cloves
• 100 ml extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 hard-boiled eggs
• 100 grams gluten-free cured ham (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Start by cutting a small 'X' on the bottom of each tomato. Immerse them in boiling water for about 30 seconds, then transfer them to a bowl of ice water. This process makes the skins easy to peel off.

Step 2

Once the tomatoes are peeled, use a sharp knife to remove the core and chop them into quarters.

Step 3

In a blender or food processor, combine the peeled and quartered tomatoes, gluten-free bread, garlic cloves, sherry vinegar, and salt.

Step 4

Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. If your blender struggles, add a couple of tablespoons of cold water to facilitate the blending process.

Step 5

While the blender is running on low, slowly pour in the extra virgin olive oil. Continue blending until the oil is fully incorporated and the soup is thick and creamy.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or vinegar if needed.

Step 7

Transfer the salmorejo to the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes or until very cold.

Step 8

Serve the chilled soup in bowls. Garnish with chopped hard-boiled eggs and shredded gluten-free cured ham, if using.

Step 9

Drizzle a bit of extra virgin olive oil over each serving for extra flavor and aesthetics.
