(Recipe) Here comes grilling season – Pan Con Tomate

Pan con tomate (or pà amb tomàquet if you are Catalonian-ly inclined). Try it some time. Preferably with crusty bread. Because who needs the whole tomato when you can just add carbs?

With grilling season coming up – Here is a recipe of one of my favorite items of all time.  I even eat this for breakfast sometimes.

  • 16 slices coarse country loaf, sliced thickly
  • 4 ounces extra virgin olive oil, the best you can afford
  • 8 cloves garlic, fresh, whole peeled
  • 8 each tomato, heirloom or campari
  • coarse sea salt
1.Heat grill or grill pan to very hot.
2.Grill bread to crisp and mark with the blackened grill marks.
3.Remove and immediately rub with a clove or garlic-using half-use the crisp bread like a rasp and scraping off the garlic.
4.Continue the process until all of the bread is grilled.
5.Half all of the tomatoes grind the tomato-flesh side down-into the bread like the garlic and repeat the process of grinding with the all the tomatoes and all the bread.
6.Drizzle each piece with a bit of the olive oil and the sea salt.
