Ingredients
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp granulated sugar
2 medium-size ripe but firm tomatoes
1 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 thick slices bread
freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, stir cumin with cinnamon, salt and sugar. Set aside. Using a paring knife, cut stem end out of tomatoes and discard. Slice tomatoes into 1/2-inch (1-cm) rounds.
Heat oil in a wide frying pan set over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté, stirring often, for 2 minutes. Then increase heat to medium-high. Add tomatoes and sprinkle with seasoning mixture. Fry until bottoms are slightly browned, about 3 minutes. Using a wide metal spatula, turn and cook until both sides are lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
Meanwhile toast bread. Place toast on plates and arrange tomatoes overtop. Drizzle with any pan juices. Grind pepper overtop.
