Steemit Iron Chef 2017 #01: Salmorejo Cordobés

Hello fellow iron chef steemians!

I’m very happy to participate in this first edition of Steemit Iron Chef. This is a Hive account@progressivechef’s initiative, and we are about 40 people who enrolled in this first week’s competition.

And I’m also happy becouse the first product we’ve been working with is tomato, and this gives me the chance to make a dish I really love, wich I made in quite a few countires while I was traveling and have great feedback almost every time I did and do it.

As I’m from spain, and we really have a wonderfull cuisine here, I’ll be trying to share with you a little bit of it here in the contest.

I’m not a profesional chef, only a very passionate foodie person who loves to eat good food and enjoys a lot cooking it.

So here we go, my first dish for the contest is… Salmorejo!!!

A tipical dish from Cordoba, Andalucia (south Spain)

It is a “lightly garlic tomato cold soup” which is often acompanied with boiled egg, iberic ham and olive oil.

Its a simple but delicius dish.

Be carfull, it is not easy to prepare it properly. Here texture is as important as flavour, and quantities matters.

So I hope you like it, and if there is any question about this magnifient icon of south Spain cuisine, please leave a coment and I’ll be very happy to answer all of them.

I hope everyone involved in the contest had a good time preparing their plates and I’ll be watching you all!!

Nooooooo Hive account@progressivechef I just realized I forgot to add the date to the pictures... Is it necesary to set everithing up again for the picture? I know it's my fault.. and If you need it I will....but please be benevolent, it's the firs week!! hehehe sorry!!

PD (edit)

Ok Hive account@progressivechef, I understand its not fair to the other contestant, so I took this pic only to validate the entry with the leftovers haha

I hope it's enough and not to worry, its not going to happen again!!

Thanks!!
