Grated tomato in the Thermomix

• 1 Loaf of bread
  
• 4 tomatoes (pear tomatoes)
  
• 1 Clove of garlic (optional)
  
• A little Virgin Olive Oil
  
• Salt

Step 1

If you are going to make toast, you can do this as a first step. Take the loaf of bread and cut slices to taste. The tomato is not very heavy, so you can make them very thin, but ideally about 1 cm thick. Set the slices aside to toast when you have the grated tomato ready.

Step 2

Take the pear tomatoes and wash them. Then just cut them into two pieces of your choice. Put the pieces in the Thermomix.

Step 3 Add to the Thermomix

Add the desired amount of olive oil to the Thermomix, as well as the amount of salt you prefer. It is advisable to add at least a pinch of salt, to counteract the acidity of the tomato. Optionally, you can also add a clove of garlic, if you like to taste its flavour with the tomato toast.

Step 4

Use the Thermomix in blending mode for 10 seconds at a speed between 8 and 10. Then reduce to 4.5 to continue blending for 1 minute.

Step 5

With the grated tomato ready, you can prepare the toast. Warm them slightly in the toaster, getting the crispness you like best.

Step 6

The grated tomato can be served in a bowl, next to the toast, so that each diner can serve themselves as they like. If you want a special touch, you can add a drizzle of oil on each piece of toast with the grated tomato already spread on it or even before putting it on the toast.
