Tomatoes Pie (tarte à la tomate)

HEY, BABY !! Tomatoes are here !!
No, I mean, REAL tomatoes.
Not the one full of water, without any flavor, and with tennis ball consistence !
That being said, I don't eat "winter tomatoes". Unable...

No, no, THE Tomato, with a capital T.
The juicy one, the sugared one, the shiny one. Oh, how much I love those fruits.

Years ago, while I was to my childhood friend, the Hunter, her wife served me traditional mozzarella-tomatoes. I tasted and asked : "Do you sugar your tomatoes ??".
She replied :"Of course, not ! Just need sun and water".
The best tomatoes I ate for all my life. I swear.

So, we're finally in the good season for those fruits.
I'm going to share with you a very usual provencal recipe : the tomatoes pie.
There's a million ways to prepare it. But this one is very simple and yummy !

Here what you'll need for a 4 person's pie.

• 5-6 tomatoes
• 1 pastry
• 1 big tablespoon of mustard (I use sweet mustard, I mean, not too strong)
• Oregano
• Salt , pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon of olive oil

Your oven must be preheated at 180°C (350°F / Th6)

Step 1 :
Unroll your pastry on a dish and stick it with a fork. I used a cake pan, for fun. But you can use a pie plate.

Step 2 :
Slather the bottom with mustard.

Step 3 :
Then, cut your tomatoes in slices and arrange them, even in several stairs, into your pie.

Step 4 :
Salt, pepper, and oregano.

Step 5 :
And water with the olive oil.

Step 6 :
Then, I closed my pie. But if you use a large dish, you're not obligate to.

In the oven, for 25 minutes or so.

Bon appétit !
