One of the simplest dishes in Spanish cooking and one of the most delicious. Juicy, ripe tomatoes, good olive oil, and warm, toasted bread come together to create the perfect bite. Simple ingredients, treated with care, are often all you need.
Here's Ricardo's Pan Con Tomate recipe:
Ingredients
• 4 ripe vine tomatoes
• 1 garlic clove
• 50ml extra virgin olive oil
• 5g Maldon salt
• 1g black pepper
• 4 slices sourdough bread
Method
Grate the tomatoes into a bowl, discarding the skins.
Allow the grated tomatoes to sit in a fine sieve for 5-10 minutes, draining off any excess water.
Finely grate the garlic into the tomatoes.
Add the extra-virgin olive oil, Maldon salt, and black pepper.
Mix well until combined.
Toast the sourdough until golden and crisp.
Spoon a generous amount of the tomato mixture onto the warm toast.
Finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
A handful of quality ingredients, a little patience, and you've got a classic Spanish staple that's perfect any time of day.
