Serrano Ham with Crusty Tomato Bread Recipe

Serrano Ham with Crusty Tomato Bread Recipe

  • 12 plum tomatoes
  • 4 tablespoons garlic oil (see Note), divided
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 whole-grain baguette, cut into thin slices
  • 6 ounces thinly sliced Serrano ham (see Note)
  1. To prepare tomatoes: Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Coat a large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
  2. Cut tomatoes in half lengthwise and place on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle each half with 1/8 teaspoon garlic oil and some oregano and salt. Roast for 2 hours. When cool enough to handle, coarsely chop tomatoes and transfer (with juices) to a serving bowl.
  3. To assemble tapas: Shortly before serving, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  4. Place bread on a baking sheet and brush with some of the remaining garlic oil. Bake until slightly crispy, but not hard, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Let cool slightly. To serve, arrange the bread on a large platter with Serrano ham and the bowl of tomato mixture for spreading.
