Pa amb tomàquet

Pa amb tomàquet (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈpa m tuˈmakət]), also known as pa amb tomata or pa amb tomaca (all meaning "bread with tomato" in Catalan), is a traditional food of Catalan, Aragonese and Balearic cuisine. Pa amb tomàquet is considered a staple of Catalan cuisine and identity.

It consists of bread, which may or may not be toasted, with optional garlic rubbed over and seasoned with olive oil, salt and topped with fresh rubbed in tomato. It is sometimes used as a vessel for cured ham and other types of cured meats.

It is considered one of the typical examples that define the Mediterranean diet, extended as a traditional recipe throughout the Catalan Countries, and its preparation has become an iconic ritual of Catalan culture.

It is popularly consumed on its own as a snack, as sandwich or a tapa with any meal, from breakfast to dinner.
