Ingredients
- 4 slices bread ('country style' or eg cross slices of a baguette)
- 1 clove garlic (small)
- 1 tomato
- ⅛ teaspoon salt (approx - more/less to taste)
- ½ tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (approx)
Instructions
- For both versions, first toast the slices of bread until lightly brown. Most traditionally, you grill them to add a bit more flavor, but you can also cook them using a broiler/overhead grill or a toaster. They should be crisp but not too brown.
- For Catalan version, peel the garlic but keep it whole and cut the tomato in half cross-wise. Rub the garlic over the toasted slices of bread, then rub with the cut side of the tomato. Sprinkle on a little salt and drizzle with oil.
- For central-Spanish version, finely grate or crush the garlic and grate the tomato (if grating, use the coarse side of the grater for the tomato, I recommend microplane for the garlic). Put both in a small bowl with the salt and olive oil, mix then spoon over the toasted bread.
