The cherry gazpacho is one that we do more at home in addition to the traditional. And it is that cold tomato soups are in my house the compulsory dinner that I have to be always in the fridge since arrives this time of year in which already crave light dinners or cold rather than the beloved winter soups.
When we talk about tomatoes and tomato soups cold there are thousand versions. Porra antequerana, now I bring you, it has lots of bread. In my house the salmorejo are always made with too much oil and little bread, and never with pepper.
My grandmother did as well, and so do us. It thickens with much extra virgin olive oil and is therefore very important that we use a good oil. The best we can find.
To my I love the of O-Med because they are almost artisan oils with a lot of flavor. This I use today, picual, has a taste to tomato at the end which gives it a unique touch to the gazpacho and which has also been chosen for the Food Prize of Spain as "Green fruity sour". Ye say that I am a heavy oil but is that often we don't know what we have and make a unique oil at O´MED. I have all my uncles already converts and it is this oil falls when tested.

Please the egg laying in salmorejo joins raw and whole?
If it is raw it can be dangerous for the salmonella and I guess it may not freeze
If it is to decorate if you come specified but does not in the recipe for salmorejo
Very grateful if you can answer me, a greeting, Josefina Samper
Hi Josephine, if the eggs are in the fridge and well-preserved do not have why give no same problem than mayonnaise, meringue, or many other preparations. I use it and I love the texture that gives. The gazpacho in my house is spent on the day, but if you have, you just always keep well in the fridge. I have never had a problem but if you settle more secure, do not put it. You will get equally good. Thanks for writing and happy day!
