Preparation

the chirlas are washed well and put in a saucepan over the fire, so that they open, with very little water.

Meanwhile, we will fry the onion and the peeled tomato, all very chopped in extra virgin olive oil, we will add the bay leaf, a little sweet paprika and the salt.

We put on the fire a container with the water, the salt, the bread and the chirlas, adding the water that the chirlas have released, previously passed through a strainer in case it has earth, and the sauce passed through the Chinese. We will have it on the fire for a while, beating it from time to time. with the egg, the crushed garlic and the virgin olive oil we will prepare a mayonnaise sauce, which is added to the soup, stirring it so that it mixes without curdling when we are going to serve.
