Porra antequerana · Málaga
A thick cold tomato-and-bread purée from Antequera, denser than gazpacho, topped with chopped egg, jamón and tuna and eaten almost with a fork.
Porra antequerana comes from the inland town of Antequera, an hour from Málaga, where day labourers pounded stale bread, tomato, garlic and oil into a filling cold cream in a porra or mortar. Thicker and richer than a drinking gazpacho, it is served as a starter or light meal, always crowned with hard-boiled egg, cured ham and flaked tuna. It has become a fixture on Málaga tables through the warm months.
