Ingredients

  • 3 large tomatoes ripe
  • 4 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
  • 1/8 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 loaf Rustic bread such as ciabatta
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Wash and dry the tomatoes. Cut a small part of each tomato and grate them in a bowl using a box grater. Discard the tomato skins.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and salt to the tomatoes and stir to combine.
  3. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Slice the bread into pieces and brush with the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil.
  4. Place the bread slices cut side down in the pan and gently press using a spatula. Toast for about 5 minutes or until they're golden brown. Alternatively, you can toast the bread in the oven using a broiler. To do so, have the bread slices brushed with olive oil in a sheet pan. Place the sheet pan on a rack about 5-6 inches below the broiled and broil for 3 to 5 minutes until they are golden and toasted.
  5. Once the bread is toasted, rub it with the garlic clove and top with the tomato mixture. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Alternatively, you can place the toasted bread on a platter with the garlic cloves and the grated tomato mix and have each person make their own pan con tomate. 
  • If you don't have enough tomatoes, skip the grating and slice the tomato in half and rub it on the toasted bread instead. 
  • Since this recipe is very simple , it's best to use ingredients with the best quality.
