Catalan Tomato Bread
- 1 (8-inch) sourdough round or a 20-inch-long sourdough baguette
- 2 large garlic cloves, halved crosswise
- 3 to 4 ripe small tomatoes, halved crosswise
- 3 to 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Coarse salt to taste
- Prepare grill for cooking.
- If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal.
- Charcoal fire is medium-hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 3 to 4 seconds.
- If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then reduce heat to moderate.
- Cut bread into 3/4-inch-thick slices (cut baguette on a long diagonal for 6-inch-long slices).
- Working in batches of 3 or 4 slices, grill bread on lightly oiled grill rack, covered only if using a gas grill, turning over once, until grill marks appear, 1 to 2 minutes total per batch.
- Remove bread from heat and immediately rub 1 side of each slice with cut side of a garlic half, then rub with cut side of a tomato half, using 1 tomato half for 1 to 2 slices of bread and allowing most of pulp to be absorbed by bread (discard remainder of garlic and tomato halves).
- Brush bread with oil, then sprinkle with salt and serve immediately.
