Pan Tomate image

Garlic bread, Spanish-style: Rub baguette slices with garlic cloves, brush with extra-virgin olive oil, and grill to a crisp, then rub with cut plum tomatoes -- that's the traditional version of these Catalan toasts. Here, they're given the special-occasion treatment with oven-dried tomatoes, fresh herbs, and other toppings, all inspired by the flavors of the region. This recipe originally appeared inMartha Stewart's Appetizers (Clarkson Potter).

Yield Makes about 24

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 small ripe plum tomatoes, 6 cored and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices lengthwise, 2 halved and seeded
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
3 tablespoons fresh marjoram leaves, chopped
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for grill
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 baguette, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices on the bias
4 garlic cloves, halved
Assorted toppings, such as anchovies, Serrano ham, marinated artichoke-heart quarters, or sliced hard-boiled eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Toss tomato slices with thyme, 1 tablespoon marjoram, and 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange tomato slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake 1 hour.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 200 degrees. Continue baking until tomatoes are shriveled, about 2 hours more.
  • Heat a grill (or grill pan) to medium-high. (If using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold the palm of your hand 6 inches above grates for just 3 to 4 seconds.) Brush grates with oil. Rub baguette slices with garlic. Brush lightly with remaining 2 tablespoons oil, dividing evenly. Grill baguette slices until crisp, about 1 minute per side. Rub with reserved plum tomato halves. Divide dried tomato slices evenly among toasts, then add toppings as desired. Garnish with remaining 2 tablespoons marjoram.
