Pan con Tomate | Slimming & Weight Watchers Friendly

Fresh, juicy and ready in minutes, this easy Pan con Tomate recipe combines ripe tomatoes, garlic, and toasted sourdough for a simple Spanish-inspired lunch, starter, or snack.

📝 Ingredients

• 3 vine tomatoes
• low-calorie cooking spray
• 4 slices wholemeal sourdough, (approx 45g each)
• 2 large garlic cloves, (peeled)
• 1 tbsp virgin olive oil
• 1/2 tsp red wine vinegar
• 1 pinch sea salt
• 1 tbsp fresh chives, (finely chopped)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Place a box grater into a large bowl. Using the side of the grater with the largest holes, grate the tomatoes until you're left with just the skin — discard this.
2. 2Place a sieve over another bowl and pour the grated tomatoes into it. Let the tomatoes sit for 5 minutes to allow any excess water/juice to drain through.
3. 3Spray: While the tomatoes drain, spray the slices of sourdough with low-calorie cooking spray. Toast in a dry frying pan for a minute on each side until golden.
4. 4Cut: Once the bread is toasted, cut the garlic in half and rub each half over the slices of toasted bread.
5. 5Add the drained tomatoes into a mixing bowl. Then add in 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, the red wine vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to combine.
6. 6Spoon: To serve, spoon the tomatoes over the toasted bread, then sprinkle with some freshly chopped chives and a drizzle of the remaining olive oil.
