Mojete huertano

Mojete huertano is a traditional salad that's commonly prepared in Murcia, Andalusia, and La Mancha. The salad is usually made with a combination of tomatoes, tuna, black olives, hard-boiled eggs, red or white wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and sugar. The tomatoes are roasted, peeled, coarsely chopped, and placed in a wide serving bowl. They're dressed with olive oil and vinegar, and seasoned with salt and sugar. The salad is mixed well and the olives, hard-boiled eggs, and chunks of tuna are arranged on top. There are some regional variations, so anchovy fillets or roasted strips of bell peppers can also be added to the salad. In La Mancha, it's common to add a teaspoon of cumin to the dressing. Mojete huertano is typically served in soup bowls with spoons and it's recommended to accompany the salad with fresh country bread on the side.
