End Of Summer Appetizer—Pan Con Tomate (Spanish Style Toast With Tomato)

September 5, 2018 by Tonja 2 Comments

How can I go crazy over a 5 ingredient appetizer?  Sometimes it’s simply in the technique and the fresh ingredients. This humble tapas originated in northern Spain, in the region of Catalonia. This recipe is a perfect end-of-summer dish and the simplicity and restraint result in a wonderful appetizer I would make for a party or serve my family with a hearty salad for a light dinner.   It takes just minutes, and, more than anything, it highlights the quality of your ingredients.

    Why not grate the tomato onto the seasoned bread, then bake?

      I like the consistency of the tomato pulp using a box grater. But you should definitely try it!
