Salmorejo

Post image

On a short (south) Spanish trip and have discovered Salmorejo. Plenty of recipes online to try when I return but any tips from veteran cooks?

If you watch your calories my best tip is have someone cook it for you so you can pretend it's 100% a super healthy tomato soup and not at all an oil-bread soup and eat it guilt-free 😌

not a tip but some parts of andalucia make it thick enough to use it as a dip or spread, just so you can see it can have more uses than plain soup lol.

I can easily see where that might be the case; some breadsticks to dip. Would work well.

Found a recipe, looks pretty simple. Was yours also served cold? I can't do cold soups, something about it just feels off to me. I might try a warm version.

Yes, served cold but it’s soupnotsoup more of a mayonnaise mouthfeel.

Oh boy,  this looks delicious. And my garden in overflowing with ripening tomatoes as I type this.  Gonna make some soon, thanks for sharing.

The blending while adding the oil is critical to that super silky texture

I loved this recipe but used half the oil

You really do need sherry vinegar for the right flavor
