One of the greatest things about the places we find in our travels is restaurants that are transporting. The food was simple but well done and one of my favorites was his twists on the classic tapas bite, Pa amb tomàquet aka this Pan Con Tomate recipe.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

If you haven’t had it before it’s toasted bread that gets topped with tomato and garlic and is major for someone like me whose top comfort foods are tomatoes, garlic, and bread! But Derek tops it with everything from aged Manchego cheese to marinated white anchovies and Serrano ham so we took a page from his book and did the same!

Mockingbird Hill is a bar in DC and has unique flairs like pour-over coffee, punk music, and industrial decor. But, the owner, Derek Brown, is a self-proclaimed sherry advocate and has made Mockingbird Hill into a sherry and ham bar. The food is simple but well done and one of my favorites was his twists on the classic tapas bite, Pan Con Tomate.
