# Instrucciones:

01 - In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add shallot and sauté for 3–4 minutes until soft. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Stir in tomatoes, brown sugar, vinegar, salt, smoked paprika, and chili flakes. Simmer on low heat for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thick and jammy. Adjust seasoning to taste and let cool slightly.
02 - Lightly toast bread slices until golden and crisp.

04 - Serve immediately while the toast is crisp.

# Notas:

01 - Tomato jam can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. For a variation, rub the toast with a raw garlic clove before adding the toppings. Pairs well with dry sherry or vermouth.
