This summertime Mediterranean tomato tart is full of wonderful flavours. This is a staple recipe from the South of France that works well whether you are cooking for a family meal or entertaining a bigger crowd. I also like to serve it at buffets or picnics.
It is very easy to make and perfect for a light vegan lunch or dinner. Great served with a green salad.
For a tasty alternative, you can also try this tomato galette.
