Catalan Tomato Bread - {Pa Amb Tomaquet}

Recipe Ingredients

8		Anchovy filets
		= (or 4 very thin slices prosciutto)
4		Country-style French or Italian bread - (thick slices)
4		Very ripe fresh tomatoes (small)
		Mild extra-virgin olive oil
		Salt - to taste

Recipe Instructions

If using, soak anchovy filets in water for 1 hour and pat dry.

Grill the bread lightly on a wood-burning fire or barbecue, or toast lightly under a broiler (turning once in the latter case).

Cut the tomatoes in half crosswise. Rub both sides of the toast (including the crust) with the cut side, squeezing gently as you do, to leave a thin red film, including some seeds and bits of tomato flesh, on both surfaces. Drizzle oil on both sides of the toast to taste, then salt to taste. Place anchovies or prosciutto on top of the toast, and serve with knife and fork.

This recipe yields 4 appetzer servings.
