Trampó Mallorquín

Mallorcan summer salad of finely diced tomato, green bell pepper and onion in plenty of olive oil.

Ingredients · for 4 servings

• 500 g ripe tomatoes
• 2 green bell peppers
• 1 white onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 6 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
• 1 tsp sweet paprika
• Salt, pepper

Instructions

1. Wash the tomatoes, cut out the stem end and cut the flesh with seeds into about 1.5 cm cubes — the juice released belongs in the bowl too.
2. Halve the green bell peppers, remove the seeds and cut into pieces of the same size, so every ingredient sits equally on the spoon.
3. Peel the onion and cut into fine dice, shave the garlic paper-thin.
4. Combine everything in a wide bowl, sprinkle with 1 tsp salt and let sit for 10 min. until juice collects at the bottom.
5. Stir in olive oil, vinegar, paprika and pepper and gently toss the salad without crushing the tomato cubes.
6. Serve at room temperature and mop up the juice with white bread — chilled straight from the fridge, the salad loses its flavor.
