A classic catalan dish that’s very simple and easy to prepare but totally more-ish. Add to a tapas selection. This bread, if served as 8 slices, provides 209kcal, 7g protein, 34g carbohydrate (of which 2g sugars), 4.5g fat (of which 0.5g saturates), 2g fibre and 1g salt per portion.
Method
-
Toast the slices of bread on both sides until pale brown.
-
Rub one side of each slice of toast with the cut side of a clove of garlic, using a new half garlic every couple of slices.
-
Rub the garlicky side of each slice with the cut side of a tomato. The aim is to give the bread a red colour and tomato flavour without making it too soggy. Use a new tomato half every two or three slices, as you need to.
-
Arrange the slices on a serving plate, drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt to serve.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf sourdough bread (or any crusty dense white bread), sliced into 6-8 thick slices
- 3-4 garlic cloves, halved
- 2–3 tomatoes, preferably organic, halved
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- salt
