Spanish Bruschetta (Pan Con Tomate)

Who doesn't like a really well done bruschetta? This Spanish version, otherwise known as pan con tomate, takes just 10 minutes from start to finish to make, but tastes divine!

📝 Ingredients

• 2 really good quality medium tomatoes (or 1 large)
• 4 slices of Mediterranean-style bread*
• extra virgin olive oil (good quality)
• 1 small garlic clove
• salt

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Cut the tomatoes in half, then grate them coarsely into a bowl with a box grater by rubbing the cut side against the grater with the flat of your hand. Continue until you’re left with just the skin.
2. 2Grill or broil the bread on one side, then drizzle a little olive oil over the other side and grill or broil that side too.
3. 3Lightly rub the top of each piece of bread with the cut side of half the garlic clove.
4. 4Pile the tomato pulp onto the bread (leaving behind any excess water), sprinkle with salt, drizzle with more olive oil and scatter over a few basil leaves (if using). Serve immediately while the bread’s still warm.
