Ingredients:
2 cups (1/2 liter) tomato puree
7 fresh eggs
6 slices white square loaf bread
1 shallot
1 cup (250 ml) extra virgin olive oil
Vinegar
Salt and pepper
Directions:
Simmer the chopped shallot in 1 tbsp of olive oil and when it is golden add the tomato puree, season for salt and cook for 15 minutes, and cool in a bowl.
With 1 egg and the rest of the olive oil make a mayonnaise that you will mix with the tomato puree to make a pink sauce.
