Pa amb oli / tomàquet

March 6, 2011 by Iberosphere Leave a Comment

Pa amb oli

Bread with olive oil (pa amb oli) or bread with tomato (pa amb tomàquet)? Actually, the two dishes are usually the same – rustic bread rubbed with olive oil and tomato and seasoned with garlic and salt, perhaps topped with a slice of jamón or manchego cheese. The difference lies in the name: the former is what it is called in the Balearic Islands, the latter in Catalonia – a source of great controversy for such a simple dish.
