Tastes even better if made the real Catalan way. Only rub the tomato on the bread.

In Barcelona, they rub the tomato into the bread until only the peel is left. It's wonderful.

If this recipe had the Catalan name "pa amb tomàquet", I would expect the tomato to be rubbed on the bread. Since it is instead titled "pan con tomate", this recipe is completely authentic. I live in Madrid and toasted bread with tomato puree (often served on the side) is commonly eaten for breakfast, merienda, or as a tapa. It's even better with cured ham or cheese on top. Yum.
