The creamiest Salmorejo

Salmorejo is the new gazpacho. I just spent a weekend in Mardid, and I discover one more plate form the Spanish cuisine that impress me so much. This Andalucian chilled soup is a refreshing Spanish classic – ready in 15 minutes. If you want to check the recipe of the gazpacho you can find it here.

Ingredients for Salmorejo

2 garlic cloves
5 Tomatoes
Old bread or bread crumbs
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
White vinegar
Onion (optional)
Vegan egg (optional)
Vegan Ham

Let’s make it.
Soak the bread in a shallow dish of water for 30 secs on each side. Whizz together the soaked bread, tomatoes, green pepper, garlic and olive oil in a food processor. Add 2 tbsp cider vinegar, a large pinch of salt and 100ml water, then mix again to a smooth soup consistency, adding a little more water if it is too thick. Add the olive oil little by little and keep blending until the soup changes color into a bright orange.

Chill for 30 minutes and then strain it from the tomato skins and bread crumbs. Serve in a bowl topped with Vegan egg and vegan ham, I just used chopped onion and a splash of olive oil. The best for summer.
