Hello, Kúbome family! Today I'm bringing you a modern on a classic Andalusian breakfast: Bread with Tomato and Grated Garlic . It's a super simple and quick recipe, perfect for those days when you want to start your day with energy and lots of flavour. Let's get started!
Ingredients:
- Country bread or baguette
- Ripe tomatoes
- Garlic clove
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt
- Optional extras
Utensils:
- Grater Plate: Essential for achieving the perfect texture.
Procedure:
- Cut the bread into slices approximately one centimeter thick.
- Toast the slices until they are golden brown and crispy, which will give them that special touch.
- Start grating the garlic: peel a clove and grate it directly onto the grater plate. This method infuses the dish with a delicious aroma right from the start.
- Next, take a ripe tomato and grate it over the same plate, thus mixing the flavors of the garlic and the fresh tomato.
- Spread the tomato and garlic mixture generously over the toasted bread.
- Add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt.
- For a more substantial breakfast, add some slices of Serrano ham, a little fresh cheese, or some anchovies on top of the tomato.
Origins and benefits:
This breakfast has its roots in Andalusia, Spain, where fresh, natural flavours are the hallmark of the local cuisine. It's a breakfast that not only fills you with energy but is also incredibly healthy. Tomatoes are rich in vitamins C and K, potassium, and fibre, while garlic is known for its antibiotic properties and cardiovascular benefits. Olive oil provides healthy fats that are essential for a healthy heart.
