Method

1. 1

   Drizzle a splash of olive oil in a hot pan and toast the bread slices on both sides until they begin to char. Then slice the garlic clove in half and rub the cut side of the garlic over one side of the toasted bread.

   
2. 2

   Next coarsely grate the tomatoes into a bowl (we use a box grater) and discard the skins. If the tomato pulp contains a lot of water, use a spoon to scoop out and discard some of the water. Then add a generous splash of olive oil and a good pinch of salt. Stir to combine, then taste and add more olive oil or salt if necessary.

   
3. 3

   Serve the tomato mixture on top of the bread. We like to top with a little more extra olive oil and salt, but this is completely optional.
