Ingredients (Serves 4)
– 4 bread slices (preferably continental style baguette or ciabatta)
– 2 one day old white bread slices
– 2 tomatoes
– ½ garlic clove
– 100ml extra virgin olive oil Mariscal & Sarroca
– 25 ml red wine vinegar
– Salt
– 4 slices cecina Mariscal & Sarroca

Directions:
To make the salmorejo, peel the tomatoes and soak the hard bread in water. Squeeze water from the bread, and blend it with the tomatoes, the olive oil, vinegar, and garlic. You will achieve a thick puree consistency. Season with salt. Your salmorejo is ready. Now fry the quail eggs in some olive oil.
To assemble, toast the bread slices and spread the salmorejo evenly on them. Roughly chop the cecina slices and sprinkle them on top of your sandwiches. Finish by adorning them with the little fried eggs. Beautiful presentation and beautiful flavours from Spain.
