This iconic snack originated in Northern Spain, where it is enjoyed as a light side dish to the midday meal–and yet its simplicity belies the pleasure that comes whenever it is served. All you need is good-quality olive oil, bread, garlic, a ripe tomato, and a sprinkle of sea salt. Use the largest holes on a box grater to get at the juicy meat of a beefsteak tomato, discarding most of its skin as you go.
Ingredients
- One 6-in. piece of baguette, halved lengthwise
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 very ripe large tomato
- Coarse sea salt
