Slice of Dried Tomato

This is one of the dishes from the Quique Dacosta Restaurant's 2018 menu: La Evolución y El Origen (Evolution and Origin). Its origins lie in the action of the salt which, together with the air, cures vegetables as well as meat and fish.

The concept for this dish was a taste reminiscent of a slice of Valencian tomato. "We sprinkle dried tomato powder over a smooth cream also made from dried tomato, evoking a thick "salmorejo" soup on a kind of crunchy biscuit. The drops are a reduction of rice vinegar, like dew drops on a fresh tomato."
