Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 tomatoes (juicy and ripe tomatoes on the vine work well)
Extra virgin olive oil (to taste)
1 clove of garlic (cut in half)
Salt to taste
1 loaf bread (rustic, or unleavened bread (works best for avoiding sogginess and maintaining crunchiness))
A few thin slices of Spanish Serrano or Iberian ham (optional, but highly recommended)

Steps:

  • Cut the bread into slices of toast with medium thickness. Arrange on a baking sheet, and toast the bread slices in the oven at 250°F (120°C) for about five to ten minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Wash and dry the tomatoes. Cut them in half, and grate them using a box grater, discarding the stem and skins.
  • Once the tomatoes are grated, reserve in a small bowl and add about 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Taste, and adjust if necessary.
  • Cut the clove of garlic in half and rub the raw garlic on the toasted bread. Then carefully spoon the tomato mixture onto the slices of garlic toast, and top with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt.
  • Optionally, top with a slice of jamón (Serrano or Iberian) for additional flavor, and a more hearty toast. Enjoy!

PAN CON TOMATE

Categories     appetizer

Time 15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 1/2-inch-thick slices crusty bread
2 very ripe, good quality tomatoes
1 clove garlic, peeled
Kosher salt
2 teaspoons sherry vinegar
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil plus more for drizzling
Flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Place the bread on a rimmed baking sheet and toast for 5 minutes. Flip bread and toast until golden and crispy, about 2 minutes.
  • In the meantime, cut the tomatoes in half and grate the cut side of the tomato on the large holes of a box grater into a shallow bowl. Grate in the garlic clove and add the vinegar, olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Stir to combine.
  • Spoon the tomato mixture on top of each slice of bread, making sure to cover the toast completely from edge to edge. Drizzle the toast with a generous amount of olive oil and sprinkle with flaky salt.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have a slight give when you gently squeeze them.
  • Toast the bread: Toasting the bread will help it to hold up to the toppings and prevent it from getting soggy.
  • Use good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality oil that has a fruity flavor.
  • Don't skimp on the garlic: Garlic adds a lot of flavor to this dish, so don't be afraid to use a generous amount.
  • Use a variety of toppings: In addition to the traditional toppings of jamón and cheese, you can also add other toppings such as sliced avocado, hard-boiled eggs, or roasted peppers.
  • Serve immediately: Pan con tomate is best served immediately after it is made, while the bread is still warm and crispy.

Conclusion:

Pan con tomate is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal or snack. With its combination of fresh, flavorful ingredients, it's a dish that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for something to eat, give pan con tomate a try. You won't be disappointed!
