Put Them Together

In previous posts I rambled on about my love of tomatoes and tarts. Put them together and you're in heaven! I present to you the roast tomato tart.

The beauty of this tart is that it takes winter tomatoes which are generally blah and concentrates their flavor so they just sing in your mouth. Oh joy!

The basic recipe uses fresh tomatoes (peeled and seeded - but you can skip this if it's a) too much trouble and/or b) you use a thinner-skinned small tomato like a pomodoro), creme fraiche and mustard. Top that with fresh thyme and voila, France! This recipe is also easily morphed into a more Italian style - ricottta (instead of creme fraiche) and basil (instead of thyme). Even Greek would work - feta with cream cheese/sour cream and oregano and capers.

Yum + Yum!
