Essential ingredients
This recipe is perfect for hot summer days as it is fresh and light. You can find the complete written recipe below, along with additional information about the ingredients.
Tomatoes - Use heirloom tomatoes that can be easily grated. We used our local Lušt tomatoes, which we adore. It's essential to use room-temperature tomatoes, so place them in the fridge for 30 minutes before using them.
Bread - sourdough bread is the way to go in this recipe. Use thick slices that will pan-fry beautifully.
Garlic - use a whole garlic clove and spread it over the toasted bread.
Fleur de sel - it's optional, but it adds a lovely layer of crunchiness and improves the flavor.

METHOD

tomatoes
Use room-temperature tomatoes. Roughly grate them using a grater with large holes. Strain through a sieve. Use the leftover juice for soups and salad dressings, and use the rest for the bread. In a deep plate, stir together the tomato and a tablespoon of olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside to toast the bread.
Tip -
pan con tomate
Place a pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and toast the bread on both sides until it becomes crunchy and golden brown. Peel a garlic clove and brush one side of the bread with it. Arrange the grated tomatoes on a plate, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with fleur de sel, if you have it at home. Serve as soon as possible to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
