Pan Con Tomate (Spanish Tomato Toast)
Pan con tomate is a simple and flavorful dish that highlights the vibrant taste of tomatoes with the rustic charm of crusty bread.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf whole grain or sourdough bread
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 large ripe tomatoes (or 3-4 small)
- extra-virgin olive oil
- coarse sea salt (to taste)
Instructions
- Turn the oven on to the broil setting.
- Slice bread ½ inch thick and place on a baking sheet. Drizzle lightly with olive oil. Toast under the broiler for 3-5 minutes, or until crisp and golden.
- Cut garlic clove in half and rub onto one face of the toast.
- Use a large-holed cheese grater to grate the tomato into a medium bowl, discarding the large piece of skin when you get to the end.
- Spoon tomato mixture over pieces of toast.
- Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
Notes
Extra grated tomato can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
The key to the best tasting pan con tomate is good quality ingredients - fresh bread, ripe summer tomatoes, and good olive oil.
