Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Blender
  • Small Bowl
  • Knife

Ingredients
  

  • 8 Medium Tomatoes
  • 1 Medium Baguette
  • 2 Hard-Boiled Eggs
  • ½ cup Sherry Vinegar
  • 1 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 Serrano Ham (sliced)
  • 1 small Garlic Clove
  • 1 teaspoon Salt 

Instructions
 

  • Scald the tomatoes before peeling off the skin. To scald the tomatoes, cut them at the bottom of each tomato. Boil the tomatoes in salted water.
  • After boiling for a minute, remove them and place them in cold water. Peel the skin. 
  • Remove the core of the tomatoes and blend them at high speed. Blend the tomatoes till they are all crushed. This may take 30 seconds.
  • Take a baguette and remove its crumb from the inside. Add this crumb to the tomatoes and let the bread soak the tomato juice. This will take 5 minutes.
  • Now, add salt, vinegar and garlic to the tomato and bread mixture.
  • Blend them all together to get an even texture-out of them. Gradually add olive oil while you are blending.
  • Add the eggs and blend the mixture again—season with salt as per the taste.
  • Refrigerate the mixture till it gets chilled.
  • Serve this dish in small bowls and add diced boiled eggs and sliced ham to it.
  • Serve cold.
