Step by step recipe

• 1: Choose different varieties of tomatoes to give a variety of colours and flavours.
  Reomove the tomato stalks.
• 2: Slice all the tomatoes thinly, using a mandolin if possible, as it is the ideal tool for this.
  Sprinkle the slices with fine salt, then spread out on wire racks or in a strainer, and leave to drain for at least 30 minutes.
• 3: Roll out 200 g Puff or flaky pastry (pâte feuilletée), lay on a baking sheet and prick all over with a pique-vite (pastry pricker).
  Preheat the oven to 430°F (220°C).
• 4: Use a brush to spread a thin coating of mustard over the pastry.
• 5: Spread the 150 g Tomato sauce (for pizzas) in an even layer over the mustard, leaving 1/4 inch (1/2 cm) bare around the edge.
• 6: Arrange the drained tomato slices over the whole of the tart.
• 7: Bake low in the oven for about 30 minutes.
  Leave to cool slightly, then scatter with the fresh basil leaves and trickle the 2 tablespoons Herb olive oil over the tart.

Remarks

This type of tart can easily be adapted for other kinds of seasonal vegetables: courgettes, aubergines, etc.
