Pan con Tomate (w/ Aioli and Marinated Onions)

Print Recipe

Pan con Tomate is toasted bread w/ tomato. I serve it with aioli and marinated onions. It is THE perfect appetizer/charcuterie board starter!

Ingredients

Produce:

  • 1 medium white onion - very thinly sliced

  • 4 vine ripened tomatoes

  • 2-3 cloves garlic - peeled but left whole

Pantry:

  • 3-4 tbsp olive oil

  • 2-3 tsp kosher salt

  • 1 french baguette - sliced into 1/4” rounds

  • 1/4 cup garlic aioli ( I use store bought)**

Instructions

  1. Slices the onions as thin as possible (using a mandolin works well).

  2. Add onions, olive oil, and salt to a bowl. 

  3. Stir well to combine, then let rest to soften while you prep everything else. 

  4. Slice baguette into ¼” rounds and arrange on a baking sheet

  5. Drizzle bread with olive oil. Rub oil with fingers to ensure even coating. 

  6. Season bread with salt. Bake 8-10 minutes - until golden and toasted. Remove bread and let it cool.

  7. Get a box/hand grater (for cheese) and a large bowl. 

  8. Carefully grate the tomatoes into the bowl, discarding the skins. 

  9. Season the tomato generously with salt and 1-2 tbsp olive oil. 

  10. Stir tomatoes, taste, and season with more salt as needed. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil. 

  11. Once bread is cool, rub a small amount of garlic clove onto each piece. 

  12. Stir & taste the onions, add more oil/salt if needed. They'll continue to soften the longer they sit.

  13. Serve bread with dips on the side and arrange as desired. Enjoy!
