What is the point of wiping off most of the tomato? Leave it on the toast and enjoy it!
Add a little jamon and manchego- barcelona style!
Too much garlic!
Microplaned the garlic and mixed directly into tomatoes - used red wine vinegar instead of sherry!
Top it off with boquerones..... delish breakfast/ brunch!
I follow this recipe closely; however, I use champagne vinegar and grey sea salt. I find that this subtle adjustment delivers a more refined flavor profile. While scraping is authentic, I tend to pile it on with a slotted spoon on toasted artisan bread. It's consistent and always a hit.
