Ingredients
- 2 juicy, ripe tomatoes like beefsteak or heirloom
- Flaky sea salt
- 1 loaf ciabatta bread or other thick, crusty loaf of bread
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and cut in half
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Cut the tomatoes in half and grate them over a bowl using a box grater. This will extract the pulp and separate it from the skin. Discard the skin. Season the tomato pulp to taste with a generous pinch of sea salt.
- Slice the loaf of bread in half horizontally and cut it into 2-inch pieces. Place the pieces of bread on a baking sheet and brush them with olive oil. Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until the bread is toasted and lightly charred on the edges.
- Rub the cut garlic cloves over the surface of the bread. Then, spoon the tomato pulp on top of the bread.
- Drizzle olive oil on top and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Serve Pan con Tomate alone or with Spanish Garlic Shrimp.

Notes
- Maldon sea salt
- Since this recipe only has a few ingredients, you want to use high quality ingredients. Use juicy, ripe tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, good bread, and flaky sea salt like Maldon sea salt.
- I like to use a box grater for this dish- it makes it easier to extract the tomato pulp. If the pulp is very watery, you can strain out some of the water before spooning the pulp onto the bread.
- If you prefer less tomato on your pan con tomate, you can cut the tomatoes in half and rub the tomatoes on the bread rather than grating them.
- Serve the pan con tomate immediately so that the bread doesn't get soggy.
