Equipment
- 1 box grater
- 1 Frying Pan
Ingredients
- 4 slices of rustic bread sourdough or ciabatta work well
- 2 very ripe tomatoes
- 1 garlic clove peeled and halved (optional)
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Sea salt
Instructions
- Toast the bread in a pan until golden and crunchy — it should hold up to the tomato without going soggy.
- While the toast is still warm, rub one side with the cut garlic clove (if using).
- Slice the tomatoes in half and grate them on the coarse side of a box grater, discarding the skin. Alternatively, rub the cut side of the tomato directly onto the bread.
- Spoon the grated tomato over the bread or let the juice soak in, depending on your method.
- Drizzle generously with good olive oil and finish with a pinch of sea salt.
- Eat straight away — ideally outdoors, with something cold to drink.
