Last weekend I went to Barcelona with work and ate like a king. We were taken to the best restaurants in town, but my favourite thing was bread with tomato - you take one bite and it’s like eating a summer holiday. I tried it in Arola, a really lovely restaurant at the Hotel Arts Barcelona.
This morning I went to a little farmers market near my house, which is a bit of a rip-off but it had these nice looking tomatoes, so I snapped them up and made a yummy lunch with them. I ate this outside today with the perfect summer breeze. I suggest you do the same.
Bread with tomato recipe
1. Cut a ciabatta in half lengthways and then into little chunks. Grill it so the bready bit is lightly toasted.
2. Cut a clove of garlic in half (if you keep the skin on it stops your fingers getting quite so garlicky)
3. Rub the garlic over the toasted bread
4. Cut the tomato in half and rub on the toast
5. Put a sprinkle of sea salt over the top
6. Drizzle some olive oil on top, and enjoy
ps - I had a bit of mozzerella on the side, which was nice. If your tomatoes are a bit watery you could add some basil to perk them up a bit, but it’s not essential.
