Pa Amb Tomaquet: Babie’s First Meal
Catalonian bread is the first “table food” given to babies after mother’s milk in Spain. A thick slice of the bread is rubbed with cloves of garlic. Then tomato is cupped in the hand and worn down to the skin by rubbing it across the bread. Then dipped in olive oil and fed to baby. This is a simple yet delicious recipe that remains a part of the diet for the life of Spaniards.
Pa Amb Tomaquet, literally translated as “bread with tomato”, is served in Catalonian restaurants with various meats, fish or vegetables. Tomato, garlic, olive oil and salt are usually pre-made to allow the flavors to blend together. Pa Amb Tomaquet can be topped with olives or anchovies depending on the recipe.
