Cuisine: French
Ingredients: 1 tomato; 1 shallot; 4 slices bread; 2 tablespoons olive oil; Salt; Pepper

"Pan con tomate" (tomato toast) is a staple of Spanish cuisine, where it is often served as an aperitif snack.

It is really simple to make and delicious: the bread is rubbed with half a tomato to soak it with the juice. After that, all it needs is seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil.

This is a slightly more sophisticated version.

Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 1 min.

Wash and cut 1 tomato in half.

If you like the flavour, peel 1 shallot and cut in half.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 3 min.

Toast 4 slices bread (a French baguette, even a bit dry, works well).

Stage 3 - ⌛ 1 min.

If you have opted for using a shallot, rub it over each slice of toast.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 1 min.

Then rub the cut tomato over each slice, making sure that plenty of juice soaks in.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 1 min.

Salt and pepper each slice, then drizzle with olive oil (preferably Spanish).

Stage 6

Serve one slice per person as an aperitif snack.

You can also serve it cut into bite-sized pieces that are easier to manage with a glass in your hand.

Remarks

You can use a clove of garlic instead of the shallot, or even rub the bread with both.

Keeping: Should be eaten within an hour of making.
