Ingredients
- 4 slices bread
- 4 slices serrano ham
- 1 large fresh tomato
- 2 small garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- ¼ cup olive oil (60 ml)
- pepper
- salt
Instructions
-
Place the slices of bread on an oven rack and grill them for a couple of minutes under a hot grill until a little crisp.
-
Put the bread aside until needed later on. Peel both garlic cloves. Chop the tomato in half, trim the greenish parts around the stem area and chop the tomato up some more. Add it together with just one garlic clove to a clean blender. Season with a pinch of pepper and salt. Pour in the red wine vinegar.
-
Pulse the tomato until it is a fine puree. Now add the the olive oil.
-
Pulse again until the tomato looks a little more creamier. Check the seasoning and add extra pepper, salt or red wine vinegar to taste if necessary. Lightly rub the grilled bread with the remaining garlic clove (don’t exaggerate).
-
Divide the blended tomato puree over the bread. Top with a slice of cured ham. Finish with a last sprinkle of pepper and salt to taste. Serve immediately.
