Victor Menezes e-mailed me this tapas recipe!

victor owns and is the chef at Tasca La Cascada Portuguese Grill & Tapas Bar


a very easy and traditional tapa from cataluña spain. its a tapa a kind of bruscetta.

Take a slice of french bread (pan campesino) and toast it in the oven till it gets crunchy. The texture becomes like a sand paper so take a clove of garlic and with a fork rub it on the bread, Then get a ripe tomatoe and rub it and squeze it at the same time over the bread. poor a little olive oil over the bread and then top the slce of bread with a slice of Jamon serrano (spanish version of procuitto).
