Pan Con Tomate

This 6 ingredient Pan Con Tomate takes the simple traditional Spanish dish and levels it up with garlic confit, fresh basil and anchovies.

  • 2-3 tomatoes (preferably in-season summer tomatoes)
  • 1 head of garlic, cloves peeled
  • Olive oil
  • A few sprigs of basil
  • Sourdough bread
  • Sea salt and pepper
  • 1 lemon

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 250. Using a veggie slicer, peel the rind off of lemon and add to a ramekin along with the peeled garlic. Cover with enough olive oil to submerge the garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 60-90 minutes or until garlic is softened and browned.
  • Using a box or regular grater, grate tomatoes into a bowl.
  • Season the tomatoes with flaky sea salt a squeeze of lemon, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Open anchovies and add a little oil from the tin to the tomatoes.
