Salmorejo

Our garden is finally producing enough tomatoes to make salmorejo. It's a cold, thick gazpacho. Here's my version:

Salmorejo

2 slices white bread, crust removed
4 large tomatoes, skinned
1/2 green bell pepper, seeded
1/2 cucumber, peeled and seeded
1/2 jalapeno, seeded
1/2 onion
2 garlic
4 Tbs olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cumin
4 Tbs white vinegar
2 hard boiled eggs
cucumber, peeled, seeded and chopped
prosciutto, cubed

Soak bread with water. Place tomatoes, bell pepper, cucumber, jalapeno, onion and garlic in blender. Squeeze water from bread and add to blender. Puree until smooth. Add olive oil, salt, cumin and vinegar and blend. Chill.

Garnish with chopped egg whites, cucumbers and prosciutto.

Enjoy!
