Here’s a look at the recipe Chef Ken shared with us today:
Pan Con Tomate (Spanish Tomato Bread)
Ingredients
2 large, ripe Bushel Boy tomatoes
1 loaf L&B Ciabatta, split in half horizontally lengthwise, cut crosswise into 2-inch slices
Lunds & Byerlys extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic
Flaked sea salt, such as Maldon or fleur de sel
Directions
Split tomatoes in half horizontally. Place a box grater into a large bowl. Rub cut faces of tomatoes over the large holes of a box grater. Discard skin.
Adjust oven rack to 4-6 inches below broiler and preheat broiler to high. Place bread, cut side up, on a cutting board and brush with some of the olive oil. Place bread, oiled side up, on a rack set in a tray or directly on the broiler rack and broil until crisp and starting to char around the edges, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove bread from oven and rub with the split garlic cloves.
Spoon tomato mixture over bread. Drizzle with remaining extra-virgin olive oil and season with flaky sea salt. Serve immediately.
*Bread can be grilled, toasted with a culinary torch, or browned in a saute pan.
*Fresh rosemary, lime juice, and balsamic glaze can be added for a more upscale tapa.
