– Catalan Tomato Bread with Spanish Anchovies –
If you´re looking for an incredibly tasty and no-fuss tapas appetizer to make, this Catalan Tomato Bread with Spanish Anchovies is your answer. Loaded with so many simple yet explosive flavors, beyond easy to make and done within 20 minutes. The secret to this recipe is to use high-quality ingredients, like ripe tomatoes, a good quality extra virgin olive oil and of course, some high-quality anchovies. I used some from the north of Spain, from Cantabria, considered by many the best tinned anchovies in the world.
– Spanish Flavors with a California Kick –
For this recipe I used Apollo´s Sierra organic extra virgin olive oil. Apollo Olive Oil are located in Yuba County, California. Their olive oils are amazing, and the Sierra organic extra virgin olive oil really captured my heart. It has an intense flavor and full body, truly a gem. The perfect olive oil for these Catalan tomato breads, plus I love small batch olive oil companies 🙂 (coupon code to get $10 off your order ¨spainonafork¨).
