Ingredients

  • 4 thick slices rustic bread, such as ciabatta or sourdough
  • 2 very ripe tomatoes
  • 1 clove garlic, halved
  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Flaky sea salt, to taste

Method

  1. Toast or grill the bread for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden and crisp.

  2. Rub the cut side of the garlic over the hot toast, then halve the tomatoes and rub the cut sides firmly over the bread, squeezing out the pulp and leaving the skin behind.

  3. Drizzle over the olive oil, sprinkle with flaky sea salt and serve straight away.
