Cuban Tomato Bread, Recipe, Easy, Recipes Begged, Borrowed, or, Stolen
It has taken me almost a week to get this recipe. Chili for Super Bowl Sunday and Cuban Tomato Bread. I said, what? I have never heard of Cuban Tomato Bread. I had been served before in Puerto Rico a tomato bread with origins from Spain but, obviously, by the look of TC’s face I was probably making all this up and wanted to give credit to my Puertorican roots. I was not thinking such a thing.
The Cuban Tomato Bread was a hit. And, since so many asked for the recipe, TC decided on Friday to show me. In regards to what kind of bread to use, that could be your choice. The photo above was a French Bread but it looked a little different from the French Bread we had on Super Bowl Sunday. The bread is going to be toasted and it will taste so good no matter what. Following is the photo of the finished bread on Super Bowl Sunday. We had guests, so obviously we had the full baguette.
The ingredients you probably have on hand. Maybe a few things from the store you will need to get.
No measurements are necessary. Bare with me.
Ingredients:
1 stick of butter
garlic salt
Red Pepper blend seasoning (Several to choose from store. Pick something you would like.)
Tomato (for 2 people one tomato will do)
1 yellow onion
Italian Parsley
Seasoned Salt like Larry’s
Mrs. Dash original
Mozzarella cheese (rounds or squares)
You will be using the broiler.
In a small saucepan melt butter, sprinkle garlic salt to taste, the red pepper blend seasoning and the chopped parsley.
Place on a cookie sheet the bread and with a pastry brush apply some of the buttery mixture above already melted. Then place in the broiler for a few minutes making sure you don’t let it burn.
The next step is to slice the tomatoes and onions. Sprinkle lightly with the seasoned salt like Larry’s and Mrs. Dash. Place in the broiler and let them cook for a few minutes, again watching that they do not burn.
Assemble the breads by placing the tomatoes and onions in a thin layer.
Put the slices of cheese on top of the tomatoes and brush with remaining melted butter/parsley sauce.
Back into the broiler until you see it coming out like the first two photos. It will not take long by any means.
Being that we were into the Cuban mode, the perfect pairing was homemade Black Bean Soup. It is cold in Southern Delaware so a soup, a chili, a stew will be great. On the other hand, by itself with a nice glass of wine would pair perfectly.
On my Begged, Borrowed, or Stolen recipes, at times you really have to beg.
Hope you like it, and make it your own, as well.
By the way the recipe was obtained many years ago in Key West, Florida.
