Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Rustic bread (e.g., ciabatta or country loaf)
- 2 large Ripe tomatoes
- 2 whole Garlic cloves, peeled
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 4 ounces Jamón Serrano, thinly sliced
- 1 pinch Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat a grill pan or oven broiler on high heat.
2. Toast the bread slices under the broiler or on the hot grill pan for 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden and slightly charred at the edges.
3. While the bread is still warm, rub one side of each slice with a peeled garlic clove. Use the entire clove if you prefer a stronger garlic flavor.
4. Cut the tomatoes in half crosswise and rub the cut side of the tomato generously over the same side of the bread that was rubbed with garlic. Discard the skin once most of the flesh has been transferred to the bread.
5. Drizzle each tomato-rubbed slice with a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil.
6. Sprinkle each slice lightly with sea salt and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper to taste.
7. Arrange thin slices of Jamón Serrano on top of each piece of bread.
8. Serve immediately as a tapa, appetizer, or snack and enjoy the rustic Spanish flavors!
