Sarmorejo Recipe

Ingredients to make Sarmorejo:

• 1 kilo of bread from the day before
• 1 glass of olive oil
• 3/4 kilo of ripe tomatoes
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 glass of wine vinegar
• Salt to taste

How to make Sarmorejo:

1. Remove the crumb from the bread, soak it in water and when it is well soaked, remove it and squeeze it well.
2. The classic way to do it is in a mortar or dornillo (a kind of wooden mortar) and if you want to do it that way, first place the salt in the mortar, then the peeled garlic.
3. Go mashing with the mace so that the garlic breaks up well, then add the tomatoes, cut into cubes and continue mashing, add the bread and the vinegar.
4. Without stopping to mash, add the oil little by little until you get a good mixture, then pass it through the food mill (Chinese).
5. If, on the other hand, you opt for the most modern way, put the oil, the bread, the tomatoes, the peeled garlic, the vinegar and the salt in the blender glass.
6. Beat for a few minutes, until you get a homogeneous mixture. Pass through the food mill, to remove the skins and seeds of the tomato.
7. Add very cold water until you get the desired texture and adjust salt.
