Happy Hour: Pan con Tomate (Pantomate) and Whispering Angel pairing

This post is also available in / Esta entrada también está disponible en ESPAÑOL (SPANISH)

One of the easiest tapas that we can make when we have guests, and with simple ingredients: bread, tomato, garlic, olive oil and salt. We don’t need anything else. You can choose baguette bread or if you want it to be more substantial, ciabatta bread.

Pan con Tomate (Pantomate)

We have chosen these ingredients to pair with the wine of the month, and if you have followed our recipes for some time, you will know that it is one of our favorites: Whispering Angel.

Why do we like it so much? It is a blend of different varieties that has notes on the palate of red fruits with a medium body,  it is fresh with a delicate mineral note, dry and with a light acidity.

It pairs perfectly with a cheese board, seafood, white meats, salads, and some fruits.

Here we share the recipe for Pan con Tomate, which complements the notes of Whispering Angel for a light appetizer. You can find it in Vinoteca stores.

Pan con Tomate

Yields: 2-3 servings

Ingredients:
1 loaf ciabatta bread, or ½ a baguette
3 tomatoes, large and very ripe tomatoes are best
Extra virgin olive oil
1 to 2 garlic cloves, sliced in half
salt and pepper
garlic powder (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF.
  2. If using ciabatta, slice the bread loaf in half lengthwise then in 2-inch slices. If using baguette, slice bread into slices diagonally. Brush the bread generously with extra virgin olive oil and arrange on a sheet pan. Toast bread in preheated oven until the bread is lightly golden brown, about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Slice a small part at the very tip of the tomatoes and grate the tomatoes over the large holes of a box grater. Discard the peels. Season the tomato puree with salt and pepper. You could add garlic powder, to taste and it is optional.
  4. When the bread is ready, rub the garlic cloves over the hot bread to flavor them, then spread the grated tomatoes over the bread. You can drizzle with a little olive oil and an extra sprinkling of salt.
