Ingredients

  • 4 slices bread ('country style' or eg cross slices of a baguette)
  • 1 clove garlic (small)
  • 1 tomato
  • teaspoon salt (approx - more/less to taste)
  • ½ tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (approx)

Instructions

  • For both versions, first toast the slices of bread until lightly brown.
  • For Catalan version, peel the garlic but keep it whole and cut the tomato in half cross-wise. Rub the garlic over the toasted slices of bread, then rub with the cut side of the tomato. Sprinkle on a little salt and drizzle with oil.
  • For central-Spanish version, finely grate or crush the garlic and grate the tomato. Put both in a small bowl with the salt and olive oil, mix then spoon over the toasted bread.
