Seamus Mullen's Pan Con Tomate image

Pan con tomate is traditionally a humble dish, a way to make a single tomato and some old bread serve a family for lunch. For Tertulia's version, use a box grater to shred the best tomato you can find. Microplane some garlic into it. Add salt and a big drizzle of fruity Spanish olive oil, then a little less of sherry vinegar. You'll heap this mixture onto a few thick slices of bread, and then scrape most of the tomato off. Add more olive oil and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.

Yield Serves4-6

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 best-quality tomatoes, very ripe
4 cloves garlic, peeled
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, ideally Spanish, plus extra for finishing
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
4-6 slices thick-cut crusty bread
Maldon sea salt or other flaky salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Grate the tomatoes on a box grater. Using a microplane, grate the garlic onto the tomatoes. Season with kosher salt, the olive oil and the vinegar, and stir lightly to combine.
  • Toast or grill the bread until it is lightly charred.
  • Place a heaping tablespoon of the grated tomato mixture onto the bread, then wipe most of it off with the spoon. Drizzle with olive oil again, add the sea salt, then serve immediately.
