Pan Con Tomate Tomato And Garlic Rubbed Toast Recipes

PAN CON TOMATE RECIPE (SPANISH TOMATO BREAD)

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

Steps:

• Prepare and toast the bread: Set an oven rack 7 to 8 inches from the broiler element and turn the broiler on high. Cut the ciabatta loaf in half to make it easier to slice. Place the flat sides of the loaf on a cutting board and cut each into approximately 1 1/2-inch slices. Depending on the size of the loaf, cut the slices in half. You are aiming for slices that are about 4 inches long, a good size to pick up easily with your hands and bite into. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet in an even layer. Brush with olive oil Broil the slices for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the edges are slightly charred and the bread is crisp. Cool briefly, then scrape the garlic cloves over the surface of the bread.
• Grate the tomatoes: Set a box grater in a shallow bowl. Grate the tomatoes against large holes of the grater. Flatten your hand as you grate and move it back and forth until the flesh drops into the bowl and only the skins remain. Discard the skins and stir in the salt. Taste and add more salt if you like.
• Assemble and serve the pan con tomate: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the tomato mixture over each slice of bread. Drizzle with more oil, sprinkle with flaky salt, and serve. Did you love the recipe? Leave us some stars below!

PAN CON TOMATE

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.

SPANISH-STYLE TOMATO TOAST WITH GARLIC AND OLIVE OIL

Steps:

• Whisk anchovies and oil in a small bowl. Using the coarse grater disk on a food processor or the largest holes on a box grater, coarsely grate tomatoes (you should have about 1 1/2 cups tomato pulp). Rub halved garlic cloves on one side of hot toasts, then drizzle evenly with anchovy oil. Top with tomato pulp and sprinkle with sea salt. Serve warm.

PAN CON TOMATE

Steps:

• Cut 2 tomatoes in half crosswise. Place a box grater in a shallow bowl and grate the tomato flesh from the cut sides, pushing through the large holes. You should have 1 cup or so of coarse tomato purée. Set purée aside, and discard tomato skins.
• Cut remaining large tomatoes into 1/4-inch slices. Cut cherry tomatoes in half. Set aside.
• Toast the bread until nicely browned and crisp. (Toasting over a charcoal grill yields a rich, smoky flavor, but a toaster, toaster oven or broiler works just as well.)
• With your fingers, rub the top of each toast with a garlic clove. You will see the cloves get smaller as the garlic is dispersed, pushed into the bread. (For a less garlicky toast, press lightly when rubbing.)
• Place toasts on a platter or individual plates. Spoon and spread a heaping tablespoon of tomato purée over each toast. Then arrange tomato slices and cherry tomatoes randomly on top.
• Sprinkle generously with salt, pepper and a tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil per toast. Garnish with whole or torn basil leaves, if using.
