The simple act of cutting a tomato and rubbing it on bread creates a magical bite. Pa amb tomà quet, a specialty of Barcelona that cookbook author Steven Raichlen shared, offers irrefutable proof that the best dishes are often the simplest. Assemble it in the kitchen, or provide your guests with garlic cloves, halved tomatoes, a cruet of oil, and a bowl of salt, and let them do the work.
Ingredient:
- 8 large slices country-style bread, about 1/2 inch thick
- 4 garlic cloves (optional)
- 2 very ripe tomatoes, halved crosswise
- Spanish extra-virgin olive oil
- Coarse sea salt
- Freshly ground pepper
