Spanish Tomato And Garlic Bread Recipes

PAN CON TOMATE (SPANISH TOMATO TOAST)

Steps:

• Toast the bread in a toaster, skillet or oven.
• Cut tomatoes in half, and grate them using a box grater, discarding the stem and skins. You can also rub the tomatoes directly over the bread (discarding the stems and skins as well) or use an immersion blender to make the tomato mixture (discarding only the stems).
• Place the tomato mixture in a small bowl, add the salt and mix until well combined.
• Rub the raw garlic over the toasted bread. You can make 4 to 8 toasts with one clove. Discard the garlic.
• Spoon tomato mixture over bread, and top with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil (I added 1/4 to 1/2 tsp or oil per toast, but it's optional) and some chopped fresh parsley (optional).
• Serve immediately. Best when fresh, you can keep the tomato mixture in a sealed container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.

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!
