Pan con tomate (Spanish tomato bread)
Report
Pan con tomate is a simple Spanish appetizer featuring toasted country-style bread rubbed with garlic, fresh tomato, salt, and drizzled with extra virgin olive oil. The bread’s crunchy texture combined with juicy tomato and fragrant garlic creates a rustic and flavorful bite. This preparation can be made using two traditional methods from Catalonia and central Spain.
Description
Pan con tomate uses toasted slices of bread as a base. In the Catalan version, the toasted bread is rubbed first with a whole clove of garlic and then with a halved tomato, sprinkled with salt, and drizzled with olive oil. The alternative central-Spanish version mixes grated garlic and tomato with salt and olive oil before spooning it onto the bread. Both variations highlight fresh tomato flavor and garlic aroma with the toasty crunch of the bread, creating a straightforward yet satisfying dish. It serves well as a starter or alongside tapas.

- 1 clove garlic (small)

Instructions
- For both versions, first toast the slices of bread until lightly brown.
