Pan con tomate<\/em> is a simple, traditional Spanish recipe that’s perfect for those hot summer days<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I moved to the U.S. when I was three, so I don’t have memories of Spain itself, but my connection has always been through my mother’s cooking. This dish, in particular, is one my sisters and I would devour while standing around the kitchen, usually before it ever made it to the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, pan con tomate<\/em> is served for breakfast, but in our home, it was more of an anytime appetizer, often served with Cuban bread since we lived in Miami. Staying “authentic” wasn’t really our thing, every recipe in our home came with its own twists. We even grew up calling it Pan con tomaca<\/em>, completely unaware that it’s actually Catalan and properly pronounced pa amb tom\u00e0quet<\/em>. Some regions do say pan tumaca<\/em>, so at least we weren’t too far off! Mispronunciation aside, this dish will always remind me of home, simple, fresh, and a little mixed-up, just like my multicultural upbringing.<\/p>\n\n\n
