If you like Spanish food, then you can make Salmorejo Cold Soup. It is somewhat similar to gazpacho, but there is still a difference between the two dishes - both in preparation and in ingredients. This soup turns out to be not only very tasty and aromatic, but also quite satisfying.
Ingredients:
- 700 g ripe tomatoes;
- a couple of slices of white bread;
- ¼ glasses of olive oil;
- 1 chicken egg;
- 1/8 cup chopped almonds
- a couple of garlic cloves;
- ½ teaspoon wine vinegar;
- 2 slices of ham;
- salt.
Preparation:
- First, you need to rinse the tomatoes, cut them lengthwise into two halves. Then gently squeeze out the juice along with the seeds. It needs to be rubbed through a sieve. Pour the pure juice into a separate cup as you still need it. As for the seeds, you can throw them away. The tomatoes themselves must be cut into small pieces with a sharp knife.
- Chopped, or rather, chopped almonds must be poured into an absolutely dry and hot frying pan. It needs to be dried a little, it can take 2-3 minutes.
- The bread slices also need to be dried. To do this, you can use both an oven and a toaster. Next, the prepared bread needs to be broken into rather small pieces with your hands.
- Then you will need a blender. In his bowl, add the tomatoes and tomato juice that you left in a separate cup. Send almonds there, as well as pieces of bread and garlic. Everything needs to be crushed until smooth.
- Next, you need to add olive oil to the resulting mass. This must be done carefully. Turn the blender on to minimum speed and pour in the oil in a thin stream.
- In order for the soup to have an airy and very tender consistency, it must be wiped through a sieve (in the absence of a sieve, you can use a colander).
- Then add salt and wine vinegar to the soup. After that, you need to place it in a cold place for a couple of hours (a refrigerator is perfect for this).
- Boil a chicken egg. After it has cooled down, it must be peeled from the shell. Cut the egg itself into small pieces. You also need to chop the ham.
- Then you can start serving. To do this, you need to pour the resulting soup into each plate and add a pinch of ham and eggs. This cold soup, which has a unique taste, is also very useful, since the products used are not heat-treated (except for eggs).
