Ingredients
4 people
- 4 pcCountry bread (thick slices)
- 3 pcRound tomato (very ripe)
- 1 pcGarlic (peeled clove)
- 2 tbspExtra virgin olive oil
- 1 pinchFleur de sel
- 4 pcPan de Cristal (halved lengthwise)
Method
A slice of country bread rubbed with garlic, topped with fresh, juicy tomato pulp. A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil binds everything for a bold, clean bite.
- 1
Toast the slices of country bread or crystal bread until they are golden and firm. The crust should be resistant to the touch.
- 2
Grate the round tomatoes over a bowl using a coarse grater. Discard the skin to keep only the flesh and juice.
- 3
Vigorously rub the garlic clove onto the rough surface of the hot bread. The clove should wear down onto the crumb.
- 4
Spread the tomato pulp on the bread. Drizzle with olive oil and finish with a pinch of sea salt. The tomato should glisten.
Frequently asked questions
How do you get this dish right?
- Don't grate the tomato in advance, it will lose its zing.
- The bread must be piping hot when you rub the garlic so it literally melts.
How long does this dish keep?
Eat immediately. The bread loses its crunch as soon as it touches the tomato.
