Salmorejo

This authentic Salmorejo is a thicker, creamier cousin to the well-known gazpacho, hailing from the sunny region of Córdoba. This dairy-free soup relies on a blend of ripe tomatoes, high-quality extra-virgin olive oil and crusty bread to achieve its signature velvety texture. The addition of toasted almonds provides an extra layer of nutty depth, making it a sophisticated choice for a light summer lunch or an elegant dinner party starter.

Traditionally served chilled, this savoury dish is as practical as it is delicious, as the flavours develop beautifully when prepared in advance. Topped with salty Serrano ham and hard-boiled egg, it offers a wonderful contrast of textures and temperatures. Whether served in shallow bowls or small glasses as a traditional tapa, it is a healthy, refreshing celebration of seasonal produce.

Ingredients for Salmorejo

  • 1.4kg ripe halved tomatoes

  • 3 toasted, chopped 4x4x1/2" slices white sandwich bread

  • 35g toasted slivered almonds

How to make Salmorejo

Squeeze seeds and pulp from 1.4kg ripe halved tomatoes into a strainer set over a large bowl. Press solids to release as much liquid as possible; discard solids. Core and chop tomatoes; add to bowl.

Combine 3 toasted, chopped 4x4x1/2" slices white sandwich bread, 35g toasted slivered almonds, and 4 smashed garlic cloves in a blender. Pulse until chopped. Add tomatoes with liquid to blender in batches, puréeing until very smooth. Add 1 teaspoon Sherry vinegar. With blender running, gradually add 120ml extra-virgin olive oil. Purée until emulsified and frothy, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and more vinegar, if desired. Chill until cold, about 2 hours. Season to taste again with salt and vinegar.

Divide soup among small bowls or glasses. Garnish with thinly sliced Serrano ham or prosciutto and chopped hard-boiled egg. Drizzle with more oil.
