Flatbreads are one of the signature dishes people come to El Gaucho to taste - it has become a sort of tradition. Because of this, we are constantly experimenting and coming up with some new creations.
However, there are some things you just don't mess with - like our steaks. When you get something right, don't change it for the sake of change. So while we are creating new combination's of flatbreads, one of them that has remained a favorite and a constant is our Oven Roasted Tomato Flatbread.
The key to the flatbread is oven roasting the roma tomatos - this is something I love to do because it traps in the flavor and actually intensifies the tomato and the sugars. Then we add a little olive oil (can't have too much of this stuff as I've said before), whole milk ricotta cheese (keeps some sweetness but is all natural) and top it off with basil. Oh yea, least I forget the light dusting of sea salt on the edge of the bread just to give it a bit more salt with the light sweetness of the tomato.
Boy, this is making me hungry - which is why this is a staple on the menu. This works for just about everyone - whether they are having steak or not - it is a compliment to any meal or by itself. Try it out and let me know what you think of the flavor - I think it rocks!!
