Bread with tomato is a recipe that is as simple as it is customizable. Have you ever thought about how to improve it? Perhaps with a lightly toasted slice of rustic bread, some home-grown tomatoes or, why not, opting for oils that are out of the ordinary. May the EVOO purists forgive us! Traditionally smoked oils or sesame, walnut or avocado oils are nutritious and tasty alternatives.
Smoked oils are varieties that have undergone a smoking process that gives them an original and sophisticated aroma. Traditional smoking consists of exposing hot or cold oil to smoke generated from the controlled combustion of wood chips. Different types are usually used such as oak, holm oak, chestnut or beech, each of which provides different nuances.
The smoking and subsequent maturation process can last from a few hours to days. There are several gourmet stores that distribute this type of products that will add a powerful flavor to your tumaca bread.
Sesame oil or sesame oil has its origin in Asia and has a distinctive flavor and aroma reminiscent of the seeds from which it is produced. Food lovers around the world have set their eyes on this product due to its delicate texture and its combination with all types of dishes.
In addition, it has a large amount of nutrients, among which fatty acids, calcium and vitamin E stand out. Trying a splash on your bread with tomato will become a very healthy alternative!
Another type of oil ideal for consumption raw is walnut oil. This product is characterized by its light color and a delicate, slightly sweet smell and flavor. This oil is indicated for seasoning cold dishes, since if it is exposed to high temperatures it loses its properties, which is why it goes perfectly with tumaca bread.
Avocado is the trendy ingredient in the kitchen, but did you know that oil is also extracted from this tropical product? It is a mixture with a smooth, fresh flavor and silky texture, which is also rich in healthy fats and minerals such as potassium, magnesium or zinc. Avocado oil combines well with both hot and cold dishes and is another ideal alternative to season your tomato bread toasts.
