Ingredients

  • 1 kg ripe tomatoes
  • 150 g day-old bread
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 100 g extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
  • 2 boiled eggs to garnish
  • 50 g serrano ham, diced

Step-by-step

Choose your robot:
  1. Put the garlic in the mixing bowl and blend 5 sec/speed 7.
  2. Add the chopped tomatoes and blend 1 min/speed 10.
  3. Strain the mixture if you want a finer texture and return it to the mixing bowl.
  4. Add the chopped bread and let it rest for 5 minutes to soften.
  5. Add the salt and vinegar and blend 30 sec/speed 8.
  6. With the blades running at speed 5, pour the oil little by little through the lid opening and emulsify 1 min/speed 6.
  7. Check the salt seasoning and the texture, which should be creamy.
  8. Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours and serve with chopped egg and ham.

Tips

  • For a vegan version, garnish with nuts and omit the ham and egg.
  • If you want it lighter, reduce the amount of bread.
  • A drizzle of olive oil on top when serving enhances the flavor.
