TOMATO AND IBERICO HAM TARTAR

Tartare is the name of a dish of ground raw beef or also raw tuna or salmon, but today we will reinvent the dish with iberico ham and also it will be a delightfully recipe to serve as a main dish or an appetizer over some bread toast.
Tomatoes are present in Spanish gastronomy in several dishes, we drink them as salmorejo or spread in a toast with garlic and iberico ham or simply we make a wonderful salad to enjoy them in the summer when tomatoes are in season.
Avoid to put the tomatoes in the fridge, the cold temperature will affect the flavor and the ripening of them.
