How to cook deliciously - Pan con Tomate

1. Stage

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.

2. Stage

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.

3. Stage

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!
