Pan con Tomate (Catalan Tomato Bread)

Ingredients

For 4 portions

• 🥖 320g ciabatta
• 🍅 500g tomato
• 🧄 8g garlic
• 🏺 40ml olive oil
• 🧂 3g salt

Method

1. Halve the tomatoes and grate the cut sides on the coarse side of a box grater into a bowl, until only the skins are left in your hand. Throw away the skins and season the pulp with a pinch of salt.
2. Slice the ciabatta in half lengthways, then into pieces, and toast them under the grill or in a dry griddle pan until golden and crisp at the edges.
3. While the toast is hot, rub the cut sides lightly with a halved garlic clove.
4. Spoon the tomato pulp over the toast so it soaks in.
5. Drizzle generously with olive oil, sprinkle with a little more salt and eat straight away.
