Around the World in 80 Recipes

This site was created for those who would like to recreate the meals I have written about in the "Around the World in 80 Meals" site. (http://80meals.blogspot.com) On that site, I describe the meals that are cooked for me by people from many different cultures...I enjoy eating those meals and I hope to shed a more positive light on the multicultural society in the Netherlands.

I'm Dutch/American, 29 years old, and love getting to know new people and new cultures. Plus I enjoy a good meal! So what better way to combine these interests than through this blog? The idea is to talk to my hosts about what role food plays in their life, who taught them how to cook, what differences they see between local (food) culture and their own, etc. I started out in the Netherlands, but continued the project after my move to the UK in 2007.

Catalan Pa amb Tomàquet

Catalan Pa amb Tomàquet
(Bread with Tomato)

Ingredients:
French bread (or if available: Spanish "flautas" or "pan de payés")
garlic cloves, cut in half
ripe tomatoes, cut in half
olive oil
salt

Preparations:
For best results, cut the bread in half lengthwise and toast in oven till crunchy. The point is you don't want the bread to be too soft.
Then:
-rub the garlic cloves over the bread,
-rub the tomatoes over the bread so the juice is transferred to the bread
-drizzle olive oil over the bread
-sprinkle some salt on top
The Pa amb Tomàquet can be served to accompany salad or soup, or as a light meal with manchego cheese or serrano ham. Why eat just bread, if you can eat Pa amb Tomàquet?
