- Finely slice the onion and garlic, then peel and deseed the tomatoes before cutting them into small dice.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat and cook the onion with the garlic for 5 minutes, until translucent.
- Add the tomatoes, cumin, salt and pepper, then simmer gently for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring from time to time, until you have a thick, melting sauce.
- Meanwhile, toast the bread slices in a toaster or frying pan, then butter them while still hot.
- Spread the cheese over the toasted slices, then spoon a good dollop of hogao on top. Sprinkle with coriander and serve straight away.
Variations and tips
Version without cheese. Replace the cheese with a drizzle of olive oil and slices of avocado for a lighter tostada.
