A delightful combination of toasted bread and fresh tomatoes, Pan Con Tomate is a quick and easy recipe that’s one of the most widely eaten dishes in Spain.

#tapas #thefoodiephysician #pancontomate

Sometimes the simplest dishes are the best. Originating in Catalonia, this tomato bread is one of the most common and well-loved dishes in Spain.

You don’t even really need a recipe. A fresh loaf of bread is toasted and rubbed with garlic and tomato to give it a light coating of tomato pulp. It’s then finished with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkling of sea salt.

Serve Pan con Tomate alone or for a heartier dish, top it with some Serrano ham or Manchego cheese. My favorite way to eat it is with my Spanish Garlic Shrimp to soak up all of the delicious, garlicky sauce.
