Tomato bread like this is served everywhere in Catalonia. Here we show the method rather than a recipe per se, as quantities depend on what other dishes are being served and how much you can eat! It makes a quick snack for any time of the day and relies on using only the best quality ingredients.
INGREDIENTS
sourdough bread or other dense crumbed bread
whole cloves garlic, peeled
extra virgin olive oil
very ripe vine tomatoes or beefsteak tomatoes
METHOD
Slice the bread 1 cm thick and toast or chargrill until golden. Rub one side of each slice with the garlic cloves then drizzle generously with the olive oil. Halve the tomatoes and squash the pulp onto the bread, discarding the skins. Sprinkle with sea salt and serve immediately.
Menu: Serve with Fried Almonds if desired.

We start by sharing what’s on the dish team’s radar, what we’re watching, listening to and reading. Harry Butterfield puts a twist on his Nonna’s agnolotti, Malissa Fedele reminds us of the importance of fibre, and Phoebe Holden fulfils a long-held dream, sitting down with Yotam Ottolenghi. Autumn is an abundant time, we make the most with pumpkin, kūmara, cabbage, cauliflower, feijoas, apples and pears. We’re dishing up dinners for two, including a Chicken Dumpling Lasagne, alongside easy weeknight meals. We honour our mums, revisit timeless classics, and add a little baking challenge. This issue, we encourage you to slow down, to enjoy writing your shopping list, and spending time in the kitchen. Because even when life feels relentless, there’s always space to share something delicious.
