Instructions

1.Heat a barbecue with a flat plate, or a heavy cast-iron frying pan, to very hot.
2.Cut the tomatoes in half, drizzle with a little oil and sprinkle with salt.
3.Place cut-side down on the hot plate and cook, without moving at all, for about 5 minutes to get nice and charred. If you move them, take them off completely as they will collapse if you keep cooking them. Set aside.
4.Drizzle both sides of the bread with olive oil.
5.Toast the bread on the barbecue (or under the grill) until nicely charred.
6.Take a half a tomato and rub the cut, blackened side onto the bread, squishing it in well.
7. Repeat with remaining bread and tomatoes.
8.Scatter with black garlic and flaky salt.
